About the Author

A jazz fan since his schooldays, David Bradbury was able to talk to many musicians while he was based in New York as a British correspondent reporting on America. Now a freelance writer, he lives with his wife in North London. His book Now That's Funny! Writers on Writing Comedy, co-authored with Joe McGrath, was described as 'intelligent and enthusiastic' (Peter Bradshaw, Evening Standard) and 'a good laugh' (Arthur Smith, The Guardian).

Reviews

'David Bradbury's volume authoritatively traces the Duke's history and includes ... many photographs, some unfamiliar... A very worthy addition to Ducal literature.' -- Jim Godbolt Jazz at Ronnie Scott's
