Band
- live performances
He toured frequently and in his eighties in 2006 toured the UK with
his eight piece jazz band playing venues as varied as Cannizaro
Park on Wimbledon Common and at Edinburgh. In 2006 many fans enjoyed
the concert at Cannizaro - a warm evening with a relaxed picnic
on the lawn beforehand and then simply wonderful music laced with
his quirky and humorous pauses and introductions between pieces.
In the interval he was an approachable man, standing with the audience
signing copies of his latest CD. He also played regularly at the
Bull's Head in Barnes in southwest London and many regulars enjoyed
the cramped sessions in the backroom. Well into his 80s, he was
playing there until very recently.
Members of the Band, clockwise from the top: Karen Sharp, Ray Wordsworth,
Ted Beament, Adrian Macintosh, Nick Taylor, Verona Chard, Humphrey
Lyttelton, John Rees- Jones and Jimmy Hastings.
