“His Eye Is On The Sparrow”: Jazz in the Sailors’ Church, Ramsgate

Ian Turner and Peter Leonard

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s will. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” Matthew 10:29-31

What better way to introduce this very special interlude during the 2017 Ramsgate Seaside Shuffle Festival which brought back memories of previous Seaside Shuffle Sailor’s Church sessions led by our magnificent jazz musician and dedicated Christian,
Trefor Williams, absent this year due to illness. So this feature
is for you, Trefor, raising prayers for your wellbeing.

Encountering Facebook!

 

I am compelled to include this because of the wonderful response to my recent post about Trefor Williams.

The issue is that the vast majority of messages for Trefor and Kate have been posted on my Facebook Jazzers Group and then on other Facebook groups and pages rather than in the “Speak Your Mind” Comments section at the foot of each Jazz&Jazz feature.

Having heard that he is not in the best of health, I, along with so many other fans and musicians, have been on tenterhooks waiting to find out more about Trefor Williams. When he sees this message, we hope it will give him – and Kate – good cheer!
