Is he still playing? I found this picture among my archives which I think came from a Newcastle Jazz Festival gig at the then Newcastle Playhouse.
Any ideas of the concert and, more importantly, is he still active? Lance

Photo is from a Don Weller gig, likely.
The excellent Mr Spring is still playing and teaching, I hope.
Further investigation suggests that it was a two tenor quintet with Weller and Bobby Wellins.
