I'm trying to find out anything I can about this band - I think they played in Sheffield (City Hall ballroom and elsewhere, perhaps) in the 30s & 40s. Can you remember them? Any names? When did they finish? Please, please, post if you have any info at all, or can suggest where I might find out about them.

Thanks, scuda

Thanks for the photo link, hutch - a good photo of the band, and lots of other interesting photos on the same site.

I'm still hoping someone has some info to add!

I believe the Modernaires were formed from th RAF Skyrockets band after the war.
