In the offing (Upcoming 'jazz' events).

[Bryn]

I failed to find a thread for alerts to upcoming events, so if there is one, please can a Host transfer any listing here to that earlier thread, please?

Anyway, coming up at iklectik, for those not on their mailshot list:

If you are not familiar with iklectik, it is just south of St. Thomas's Hospital, across the Thames from the Palace of Westminster. Amazingly quiet, despite the proximity to the rail viaduct out of Waterloo. Small range of good bears, etc. The piano is not great (the old Cafe OTO instrument) but serviceable where jazz is concerned ().

AND Another one.... (London Jazz Blog) SA may have alerted this, I'm not sure...


"The 90th Birthday of a true legend of British jazz, bassist and former club prorietor PETER IND, falls on 20 July. Six days later, on Thursday 26 July, he will be celebrating it in a London club with which he has a unique connection, the 606, and with musicians and friends. Steve Rubie of the 606 interviewed Peter Ind, looked back over his truly remarkable career and looked forward with him to both the birthday and the celebration gig:

Steve Rubie: You will be at the 606 Club on Thursday 26 July when we look forward to celebrating your 90th Birthday. That's remarkable! What's planned for the evening?

Peter Ind: I see it as reminiscing really about jazz development and what that looks like, looking back at 90 years old, both musically and in conversation.

What I would like to do is to talk with Gary Crosby who is an old friend and student. Have always remained friends. Hoping to play a little, at 90 I have to take breathers. There will be some jazz and poetry from myself and Peter Marinker, as well as music from a variety of special guests and jazz musicians I have known over the years, from around the World."

This is partly by way of a bump but mainly to offer this update on iklectik. This at the risk of making it more important to book early to avoid the place full before I get there.

I'll note down Jan 15th when The Remote Viewers are due to take a bow. Being superstitious I only mark my new calendar in the New Year.

The people running L'Klectik are turning the place into a nice little gathering point, by the looks of it. Good to see the Horsies will be there again, and that it's still only £8 entry and £6 Concs(iencious avoiders).
