LEEE JOHN and his new Jazz Quartet played a stormer of a set at London Pizza Express Live in Soho a couple of months ago - see video. Tickets sold out fast and became impossible to find. On 22 May Woodbridge Festival is bringing Leee John's Jazz Quartet to St Mary's Church, Woodbridge, to launch our Clarkson Campaign, which is seeking to create a space and festival to celebrate Thomas and John Clarkson. The Clarksons founded the Abolition of slavery campaign and the first global peace movement - in the process kick-starting modern civil rights movements. John Clarkson is buried in St Mary's Church. Come and catch Leee and band playing a rare gig in Suffolk and help us celebrate local heroes the Clarksons. Tickets are selling fast.
