Termer's first job after the war was with Ken Turner at the Plaza Ballroom, Derby, with Kenny Graham, tenor sax, Terry Brown, trumpet and Phil Seaman, drums.
Then taking a residence at the Stork Club, London for seven years he formed a trio with Monty Babson on drums and Bill Bramwell on bass.
It was a haunt for show people and they got to accompany such names as Danny Kaye, Billie Holiday, Pearl Bailey, and Sarah Vaughan.
Also Marlene Dietrich, Matt Monro and his greatest personal thrill was playing for Judy Garland at the London Palladium, in August 1960.
Over the years, Termer performed on many TV and radio broadcasts, shows, concerts, gigs and recording sessions, including a track on the Melody Maker Jazz Poll Winners album 1957 with The Vic Ash Quintet.
