We may not have got Oasis tickets, but the only musical throwback weβre interested in anyway is the 1926 Royal Holloway Jazz Band! Complete with Swanee whistle, kazoo and tambourine, this photo from our archives was donated by Margaret Yates, who studied history, 1923 - 1928.
ALT Sepia photograph of a seven female students gathered in front of the fireplace in the Picture Gallery playing instruments. The students are wearing 1920s dresses and have short hairstyles. The instruments being played include cymbals, a tambourine, a Swanee whistle and two kazoos (other instruments are too dark to identify in the image). There are paintings on the wall behind them and a classical style sculpture is visible on the left.
