'The series was made while Murtha was employed through a Youth Opportunity Programme at Side Gallery in Newcastle and shown there in 1979 before touring. Juvenile Jazz Bands were a bit of a phenomenon in the North East and also around the country in places like the Midlands and South Wales. Tish didn't like them at all! She felt they were militaristic and harmful to their young members - only teaching them to walk in a straight line and, to her horror, didn't actually involve any jazz music. Although Murtha travelled with the official Jazz Bands to local parades and carnivals, she really focused her camera on the 'toy bands' in the back lanes. Those who were not accepted into or could not afford to be in a band.
