Ex Band Information

Band members were: - Denis Parker, Brian Strachan,Dave Griffiths, Anne Matthews and Gary Compton. The band was based in the Richmond area of London, which at the time "was kind of a hotbed for blues, especially acoustic style blues." In 1969 Denis received a fateful phone call "out of the blue" from someone in the Panama Limited Jugband which spelled the end of his day job.

"They asked me to go and have a practice with them because they had gotten a recording contract with EMI records, Harvest Records. Knowing Brian and knowing the rest of them I'd say the contract was more of a fluke than anything else. They're not like the best business people on the planet!"

Armed with a recording contract the Panama Limited Jugband initially gigged at a large number of London coffee houses, the best known being the Troubadour at Ellis Court. We played there with Stefan Grossman.

Performing a mixed repertoire of original and classic jugband songs (Memphis Jug Band, Cannon's Jug Stompers) PLJ landed engagements at universities that brought the band in contact with other elements of the English folksong revival. Shortly after the issue of their second recording, however, the band ceased being profitable.

"In '69 we did the Jugband record [Harvest / EMI Records, The Panama Limited Jugband]. Then in '70 we did the next record [Harvest / EMI Records, Indian Summer] which had to be original. So that's when I started writing and I wrote eighty percent of the record. They dropped the "Jugband" part; it was just "Panama Limited" now. And then we weren't doing a hell of a lot after that and it was a tough time. You couldn't get many gigs. We could get gigs at universities like at Cambridge and Canterbury and places like that."
