Please give my warmest congratulations, thanks, and best wishes to all of Liverpool College Jazz Club for their splendid entertainment this evening!

I was with Ian Hamilton-Burke, Chris Lunt and Jeremy Lowe. I remember thinking how much Anthony Tyler (he of Tylerius, and later as Editor of the New Musical Express) would have enjoyed it all.

It was a delight to see and hear such a voluminous cornucopia of youthful talent. I joined the school immediately after Easter 1954 and the thought now occurs that, since that date 71 years ago, I had not ever spent any more enjoyable two-and-a-half hours on the school premises than were allowed this evening. 

The singers and the musicians were all hugely entertaining; and, of any errors, it was difficult to detect which were accidental and which were very carefully rehearsed. Here is budding professionalism at its best.

Well done indeed!
