Alan Skidmore is the son of one of the original post-war jazz musicians who made their mark in groups like those of John Dankworth and Humphrey Lyttelton , and has followed very much in his father's footsteps in attaining a reputation as a driving, forceful tenor saxophone player, although his style is, to say the least, updated. This year he and his Quintet were placed first in the International Jazz Festival held annually in Montreux, Switzerland. His partner in the front line is a brilliant trumpet and flugel horn player, Kenny Wheeler, a musician's musician.

Produced by MGM in 1961, this unusual love story tells of the relationships of three people living in a remote part of northern New Zealand.

Hippies, Hell's Angels, Drop-outs, Mods, Rockers, Skinheads and Weathermen... a variety of names from a variety of countries changing year by year. But they all mean the same thing -the rebellious young. They also seem to be an aspect of our permissive Western Society. But tonight Europa takes a surprising look at what goes on in the countries behind what we used to call the Iron Curtain.
