[Read more…]The Napier Jazz Band at Ramsgate Seaside Shuffle Festival, July 2019.
Napier had a frantic journey to the festival. Road closures and troublesome detours on route
including motorways.
I know! I made the same journey.
But Jazzers never say die!

On Sunday 9th June The Portobello Jazz Band ventured north of London and the South East to entertain Lemsford Jazz Club fans with jazz in the New Orleans tradition.
Tuba Skinny at Fest Jazz, July, 2014
“It’s no wonder that bands like Tuba Skinny, Shotgun Jazz Band, Shake ‘Em Up Jazz Band are popular, folk want to hear something different.”
(Pete Lay, June 2019 Just Jazz Magazine Editorial).
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.
