Celebrating the Joy of Jazz
You must be logged in to post a comment.
Popular belief is that Jazz has had its day. Not so! There are plenty of great bands on the jazz circuits - playing at Concerts, Clubs, Festivals. People say the musicians and fans are past their sell by dates and don’t attract younger audiences. Again, not so! There is a Jazz Revival! Numerous younger bands with growing numbers of enthusiastic young fans are making their mark.
“Jazz & Jazz” is an invaluable platform for news about young bands and musicians. It’s a great way for organisers like me to know what is going on! The enthusiasm of Peter Butler is inspirational and infectious and has certainly done much to boost the reputation of Fest Jazz beyond the boundaries of Brittany. Long may the site continue and flourish!”
Trevor Stent, Good Time Jazz
“Dear Peter, You have embarked on a lonely road. There have been few people painting New Orleans musicians over the years. There was one guy named Frank Caunce … in the 1965 - 72 period who was very good but not as organised as you. So keep doing what you are doing.”
Barry Martyn, New Orleans
“Very pleased to be associated with Jazz & Jazz. It promises to be be an influential contribution not just to the UK but to any one anywhere capable of accessing it. My Old Green River Band is delighted to have the opportunity to register its gigs and geographical whereabouts and to see the results this must have for all those associated.”
Martin Bennett, The Old Green River Band
“Fantastic Peter, you've got a talent for capturing people! Perhaps I need to have a shave!!!
Emile Martyn, The Fallen Heroes.

As most of you know I went to Ramsgate’s Seaside Shuffle, and whilst there, everything was being recorded by this guy. I heard that when the shuffle was over, that he would be putting it all on a CD; has anyone got a name and a contact address in order to find out when it’s going to be available?
Your help would be very much appreciated.
So sad the ‘Barnicle Bill’ has sadly left the scene after countless years on the Jazz scene. He will be missed, and I hope he enjoys his well earned retirement. But hopefully he will from time to time put in the odd appearance and give us another of his version of ‘peanuts’ What a Character.
Whilst on holiday in Bournemouth earlier this year, I attended the bluebird club at Bournemouth which has Jazz on every Monday. Sometimes it is the resident band, and at other times guest bands. This is a wonderful club who made my partner and I feel so very welcome. If you are ever in the area, please go along to this lovely venue and support what I consider one of the best venues on the South Coast.
Talking about venues, there is a Jazz Club at Looe Golf Club in Cornwall once a month. Once again a well run venue by Mike who keeps everything ticking along, and for £20 you get a supper plus Jazz all thrown in – cannot be bad.
I have read the reports about Tuba Skinny, and it was Alan who runs the Bournemouth Jazz Club who told me about them, and went on line to have a look. Fantastic was my response, with fresh faced kids knocking out some wonderful songs. The Lady vocalist is outstanding.
Just hope they visit the UK not in the too distant future.
Thanks to everyone at Jazz & Jazz in allowing me to air my views – keep jazzing.

Thanks for these great comments, Sid.
You’ll have noticed by now that I am gradually posting YouTubes of the videos I took at Seaside Shuffle and indeed of Tuba Skinny at Fest Jazz. Watch out for more on Jazz&Jazz as I get time to produce them. Next are a couple of Barnacle Bill in the Belgian Cafe. They’ll make up for the CD you mention as this was not under the auspices of Seaside Shuffle. If I learn more I’ll let you know, although I understand his aim was to include takes of the festival on local Thanet Radio Station which I can’t seem to get.
