I’ve just received the sad news that Barry Kesterton passed away in the early hours of this morning.

Barry was a gentleman, fun loving, a keen jazzer and an all round great man! He was often seen at jazz festivals with his camera over his shoulder.

I am sorry my only photo of Barry isn’t the best quality, I’d never pass his photography standards, but it was the only one I have!

Funeral details are to follow.

If anyone has any stories about Barry please let either Val Larn (Chambers) aka Aunty Val or myself know.

RIEP Barry. You’ll be so missed by everyone.

🎼🎹 Sarah Spencer’s Sax ‘n’ Bone🥁🪕🎷

On a gig with the Harlem Jazz Orchestra, Zoltan and Sarah were talking and Zoltan said that he wanted to play a New Orleans Revival-style gig with himself and Sarah. Inspired, Sarah has formed a band of some of the best musicians in the UK who play in that idiom. She decided to highlight the 2-reed front line and go without a trumpet player but, instead, have Mike Owen join them, which makes the band about as authentic in the New Orleans dance hall style as possible.

Sarah Spencer - reeds, Zoltan Sagi - reeds, Mike Owen - trombone, Tom ‘Spats’ Langham - banjo/guitar, Jim Swinnerton - string bass, Graham Smith – drums

For an afternoon of terrific live music entertainment and fun, head to The Ansty Club, Coventry where you'll be very warmly welcomed.
