Cheapest Jazz Club in London
Went to an exhibition at the Richmond Adult Community College at the weekend and discovered that they have jazz music classes on Saturdays.
At Lunchtime the students play a gig in the cafe – and some of them were terrific! Some were more entertaining from their enthusasm rather than level of accomplishment… A saxophonist (who was ace) told me he bought his instrument at the age of 53, and had been playing it for 18 years!
We’ll definitely go back again.
Searle’s sketches
Ronald Searle is 90 this month and to celebrate the Cartoon Museum in Holborn has an exhibition of his work – Quite fantastic. Especially his repotage drawings, and those from his time as a PoW of the Japanese at Changi.
