A small, but select, gathering of souls met outside the Jazz Café at noon today to pay tribute to Keith by way of reminiscence on video - I'd expected more. Nevertheless, it was an emotional experience and I was pleased I made the effort. Link.

Does anyone know when and where Keith's funeral is?
As soon as the details are made known the date and time will be published.
I've been on holiday in Wales this week and I couldn't believe it when I got a text about Keith. It's so sad.I only met Keith briefly a few times over the last 2 years, at Lindsey Hannon's Jazz Singing Class end of term gigs and Keith was always a perfect gentleman to me, so I think I must have done something wrong! This is the venue where I had my first real jazz singing experience. It would be great if the venue could be kept on somehow.
