A band, most of whom are wearing disguise of heavy eyebrows and moustaches
A band, most of whom are wearing disguise of heavy eyebrows and moustaches, presumably a gimmick during a performance, or just for the hell of it?! Somebody appears to be holding a cardboard tuba, and many of them are holding harmonicas so perhaps this is a comedy amateur performance? B hoys was a slang term for boys, particularly used during the First World War. Date: 1920s

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and feast your eyes on the mischievous Bhoys Band, a group of jolly jesters from the roaring twenties! This charming photograph captures the playful spirit of these musicians as they don disguises of heavy eyebrows and moustaches, adding an extra dose of amusement to their performance. Some members even hold unusual instruments, such as a cardboard tuba and numerous harmonicas, suggesting a comedy amateur hour or a lighthearted ragtime jam session. The Bhoys Band, a term used fondly for boys during the First World War, exudes an air of silliness and camaraderie. Each man wears a hat and is dressed in casual attire, adding to the laid-back and carefree atmosphere. The band members' faces are hidden behind their exaggerated facial hair, which only adds to the mysterious and intriguing nature of the photograph. As they strike poses with their instruments, such as banjos, drums, clarinets, and harmonicas, it's clear that the Bhoys Band was all about having a good time and spreading joy through their music. Their playful and ridiculous appearance is sure to bring a smile to your face and transport you back to a simpler time. This delightful snapshot from the 1920s is a testament to the power of music and the human spirit to bring people together and create memorable moments. Whether they were a professional troupe or just a group of friends who loved to entertain, the Bhoys Band is a reminder that sometimes the most amusing and unusual performances are the ones that leave the greatest impact.
