Jazz clarinettist Acker Bilk lived in Pensford. Pensford was home to the clarinet player, Acker Bilk. In 1956 the British clarinetist Acker Bilk founded his own ensemble. Another jazz version was recorded by UK jazz artist Acker Bilk. The paln was to then bilk them of money (a plot she concocted with Ethan). Pseudolus exploits this fault to bilk money from them both. In 1961 "Acker Bilk and His Paramount Jazz Band" appeared at the Royal Variety Performance. Nathaniel Martello-White stars as Glaspie's partner, detective sergeant Nathan Bilk. Bilk made a CD with Wally Fawkes for the Lake label in 2002. He referred repeatedly to Harte as "The Immortal Bilk". Bilk later borrowed a better instrument from the army and kept it after demobilisation. The first documentary mention of Bilk is in the year 799. Bilk was born in Pensford, Somerset, in 1929. Bilk has been described as the "Great Master of the Clarinet".
