Ukulele Boy and Family

Ukulele Boy and Family
Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: MUSICIANS AND MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
This is a photo of one of the many going away parties we had before we emigrated to the States.
My brother Nicholas is holding a ukulele - soon to be a guitar - which he is still playing as a musician, many years on.
Ruth (on the left) and myself (on the right) have just finished performing something and are still in dress up clothes. We are hoping that people who see the photo will imagine our coca-cola is wine. Frances is doing the same, but making sure she is pictured with the grown-ups, not us.
Back row: Nana Ted (Ruth and Frances' maternal grandmother), my Nana, my Grandad, and then on the end, Ruth and Frances' paternal grandfather.
Brocksford Avenue, Rayleigh, Essex, England. 1964.

Ha ha, it worked! I was wondering what was in those glasses! Does your brother still play the ukulele or just the guitar? A fun photo!

I wasn't very clear. He was soon to head into the world of guitars, and he never looked back!

Must have been a difficult time for your grandparents. Nice to have these mementos.

Yes, although a very common occurrence for British grandparents, in those years.
