Frank Hurlock was a major influence on the local jazz and folk scene. In 1950s he presented Jazz Record Recitals around town
It has been said that he ran the House of Wax in Lake Road but the 1958 Kelly's directory gives the name J Hurlock, probably his wife Jean?.
San Jacinto Jazzmen led by Frank Hurlock
1963 Jazz/folk musician Frank Hurlock suggested that British rhythm & blues was “nothing less than a shook up potion of rock ‘n’ roll”, adding the real culprits were not the young musicians but promoters and agents exploiting this new genre financially as they had previously “flaunted traditional jazz”.
1963 The Guildhall had the San Jacinto Band but the Jazzmen identified more evidence of the dying ‘trad’ scene with the decline in sales of instruments like trumpets and clarinets.
Traditional jazz was available with the San Jacinto Jazz Band at the Star Inn and the Back of Town Syncopators at the Railway.
1965 San Jacinto Jazzband were one of the few traditional jazz acts now playing regularly.

The folk world was now “all action” and “moving towards the long-forecast boom”. Americans Bill Clifton and Tom Paxton were at Folkways in Arundel Street, many people were turned away from a Nadia Cattouse sell-out performance at John Isherwood’s Folkhouse Club (Talbot Hotel) and while the appearance of Julie Felix and the Settlers at the Guildhall was less well attended it was an “artistic triumph”. Future cult folk singer Vashti Bunyan was mentioned in Spinner’s column while the Bottle in the Wall Club in Hampshire Terrace was the latest to open a folk club, starting with two locals, blues singer Frank Hurlock and acoustic guitarist Barry Roberts.
