Ron Wilson


Ron Wilson graduated from the Alpha Boys School with a talent for playing the trombone.

 

He led the band in a number of sessions for the King Edwards label as the Upcoming Willows - a band who were actually a good number of The Skatalites. The fact that Ron Wilson led the band on these sessions was probably the reason for the name change.

 

Notably, he also self-produced some records on his own Splendid Sounds label, and appeared for a time in The Upsetters line-up.
