                                                        Jerry Allen And His Trio

In 1943 he made his first recordings with his newly-formed trio, in the Decca 'Music While You Work' series. In addition to Jerry on the Hammond organ, the trio comprised Alan Grahame on vibes, Ken Ingarfield on bass and percussionist Lionel Rubin. Lionel had been the power-house drummer with the Nat Gonella band.

The group's big break came in 1956 when Lew Grade booked them to provide the musical backing on Associated Television's 'Lunch Box', the popular Monday-to-Friday midday show hosted by Noele Gordon. Lunch Box' enjoyed an eight year run, and the Jerry Allen trio were involved with several other television series, becoming one of the countries most televised groups.

In 1962 Allen formed his own big band, which included many of the Midlands' finest musicians.
