Same here. Glad they are playing well.

Henry Lowther tonight at the Bull and Gate London NW5, the new home for jazz in Kentish Town. Last band I saw here was Half Man Half Biscuit in the early 90s….

Presumably that will be the 'Still Waters' Band? I caught them at Swanage last year - always a delight. Instead of Pete Hurt on tenor they had Tori Freestone subbing on that occasion. I don't think Henry will be appearing at the seaside this year, although he has done for the previous 3 years I think.

Yes, Still Waters. Veteran Dave Green on bass. Pete Hurt on tenor.

Possibly The Woodentops for me

Lowther plays local to me quite regularly, I really should go and see him

Yes, that would have been in the side room to the pub, now unrecognisable as a restaurant. Music is now upstairs. Henry Lowther was on great form (nearly 84). I knew he had played at Woodstock (for the only band not recorded or filmed) but I hadn’t realised the range of artists he had played with over the years, ranging from Elton John to Buzzcocks.

Also in the old Top Of The Pops Orchestra. He can sometimes be seen in the section on BBC repeats.

Great! Henry deserves a thread in the Artists section.
