Band Biographies
Professor Tickle-Upright
The Professor Tickle-Upright is one of those long-haired romantic dandies from Oxford University with odd social and political opinions.
However, he spends most of his days languishing on sofas, smoking suspiciously Bolshevic-looking roll-up cigarettes.
If he does occasionally communicate, it almost entirely consists of requests for ale, fine wine and gourmet foods.
When he is not stroking his antique Contra-Bassine on stage with Top Shelf Jazz, the Professor is often found conversing with low women on subjects as important as Modern Art, and himself.
He has been lounging lazily with the band since 1927.
