Walnut Tree Fans, let’s give Adrian, Gethin, Joe and Simon an even bigger welcome to
The Walnut than last year.
Midway through their exhilarating February UK tour Frog & Henry were resoundingly applauded by enthralled fans at The Walnut Tree Jazz Club, Blisworth, on
Sunday 10th February.
I met and filmed the band at Fest Jazz 2018 and at Blisworth I was able to film them for several more Jazz&Jazz YouTubes featuring their gripping performance which I feature below.
Their UK tour continues until Saturday, March 2nd. Visit Tour Dates 2019 for dates and venues.
Meantime, in no particular order, here is a selection of the Jazz&Jazz
Frog & Henry YouTubes filmed at The Walnut Tree.

Yesterday I was saddened by the news that Jazz Broadcaster Ivan Halloran has passed away. He was one of the my earliest supporters. He frequently contributed to Jazz&Jazz and to my Facebook Jazzers Group. I so much appreciated his friendship and encouragement.
“I very much enjoy how candid your YouTube “Featuring Ewan Bleach with Frog & Henry at Fest Jazz 2018″ is. It perfectly captures that moment at Fest Jazz, which happened to be my favourite!” (Ryan, Frog & Henry)
Ryan, it was my privilege to film “Frog & Henry” for Jazz&Jazz at Fest Jazz last year. And now I’m elated to be able to announce your gig at Tad Newton’s Walnut Tree Jazz Club in The Ellington Room at Blisworth, Northants, during your February UK tour.
Barry Palser’s Savoy Jazz Band will be playing in the Ellington Room
at The Walnut Tree, Blisworth,
12.00 til 2.30pm Sunday, 3rd February! [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.
