I think Billy Stephenson may have led a band at La Dolcé Vita the premier night club of its day. A second brother, Bob Stephenson, played drums and vibes. I think he did a spell with the NDO (Northrtn Dance Orchestra). I met him when he was a rep for one of the distributers to the music trade.
Dave Fox's daughter Debbie here - I am chuffed to know someone else thought my Dad was as good a drummer if not better than his hero Buddy Rich! He was also a big Art Blakey fan. Dave died 8 years ago to the day today which prompted me to google him for the first time - thanks for the memory!!
Re your editor's note - That's really kind - thanks!
Hi, this is Bob Stephenson's daughter, and Ronnie Stephenson's niece. Dad did have a band at La Dolce Vita for many years. He has lived and worked in Scotland since 1980, until he retired 15 years ago. Still playing!
