[Read more…]18th December 2019: Ginny and I are sad, lamenting the passing our beautiful, inspirational black and white cat, Bagpipes.
“Baggie” cared every bit as much for us as we did for her. She was our friend and inspiration. For years she spent hours alongside me in my Den, first overseeing my artistic endeavours and then helping me master my patience in creating YouTubes from my films of jazz musicians and bands. Somehow she had a calming influence evoking in me my very best endeavours.
So this feature is in memory of you, Bagpipes, all too soon
so sadly departed.
The very last movie of Bagpipes filmed by Ginny just a few days before her passing as she followed me to my studio
to supervise my
latest releases.
Tad Newton’s Jazz Friends and
Surprise Guests!
Fans flocked into Lemsford Village Hall on Sunday, 9th December, for Lemsford Jazz Club’s frenetic Xmas Party starring
Dave Rance & His Rockin’ Chair Band.

[Read more…]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.
