Description

Satchmo the Great, a film about the world-famous jazz musician Louis Armstrong, had just played in Belfast in March 1962, to help with the student rag fundraising at Queen’s University, when the great man himself was persuaded to come and play in person the following month. Armstrong and his wife were given a New Orleans-flavoured march upon arrival at Nutts Corner airport, all the way up to the waiting UTV camera Crew where this interview was conducted. His concert would take place at the King’s Hall in Belfast on 25 April 1962.
