A really good quality film of an early Roy Fox band circa 1932 playing a comedy number of the day, It Ain't No Fault of Mine. I think the tall chap sharing the vocal with Nat Gonella is Jim Easton. Joe Ferrie is on trombone and Al Bowlly on guitar

Novelty number to entertain the rich in the 1930's when millions were out of work and living in poverty. Pathetic!

Also bought and listened to by very, very many ordinary people as well. I know because my uncle was an unemployed shipyard worker on Tyneside and he recalled listening and laughing to it on the radio.

Yes they probably ... ( 1 year ago by peteressex)

Yes they probably were playing to the haves but popular music probably helped the less fortunate raise spirits. There are still huge gulfs. Worth remembering that some of the finest dance band musicians were indirectly employed by the filthy rich.I don't particularly like the novelty nos but times have changed and such numbers perhaps don't stand the test of time.

For heaven's sake lighten up :-) It's a novelty song and unless I'm missing something it's message isn't "I'm rish and the poor can go to hell". It is just an attempt to give people of any class a bit of a laugh in a difficult time

second trumpet could well be Syd Buckman. He was about the only member of the band to stay with Fox when Lew Stone took it over

I have known about Roy Fox and Al Bowly for years, as a record collector. Have an "Al" with Ray Noble called "Lying in the hay," that I dearly love! This is also Great! Always was a sucker for a novelty song! Thanks for sharing/posting this! I am in you debt, Sir!

Loved the three ocarinas at the end. Haven't heard one of these since Reg Presley played one on "Wild Thing."

Well with 'The Sun Has Got His Hat On' using an 'N-word' common on gangsta rap records and 'I Get a Kick Out Of You' mentioning cocaine, perhaps these two worlds are not quite as far apart as we thought! Great film.
