Since their formation in 1967 the Severn Jazzmen have been resident on Mondays at the world famous Old Duke jazz pub in Bristol. Their style is very much trad/Dixieland including vocals from the band leader Dave "Fats" Millman on the piano. This easy listening music will appeal to jazz connoisseurs and those who just want to hear some interesting happy swinging music.

The band has appeared at Jazz clubs and festivals throughout Europe; Acker Bilk, Len Skeat, Martin Drew, Jim Douglas, Allan Elsdon, George Chrisholm, Danny Moss, Brian Lemon, John Barnes, Pete Allen, Kenny Baker and Roy Williams are among the many guests who have played with the band.
