Well done Simon Spillett.

News just in is that Simon Spillett has won the tenor sax category in the 2011 British Jazz Awards.
An article by Simon can be read in the current Jazz UK magazine.
Let's hope this encourages local promoters to book Simon - it's about time his talents were heard in Newcastle.
Lance.
PS: All the winners are listed on LondonJazz.
