Is this to do with the 1942 newspaper report? The only item I can find with details of the group is from 1947. Many references as Swing Boys from Burnley.

Hi
Thank you. I came across them in a news report from 1942 but have found little else in my brief search. I do have a few books about Burnley so maybe there is something in there as well.
