Before I Met You (53 page)
Notes on the text
The Southern Syncopated Orchestra was a real orchestra. As far as possible I have stuck to the facts regarding the orchestra and their lengthy tour of the United Kingdom during 1919-1921. Everything else – the clubs, the musicians, the socialites and the journalists – is pure fiction. And any historical errors are entirely of my own making.
