Just watched "The Man with the Jazz Guitar" DVD about the radio presenter and fifties guitarist who hosted "Guitar Club". It really is a warm portrait and very well put together, with lots of archive material that will jog some memories. He lived in Argyle, having bought a hotel and moved his family there. |

Always enjoyed his BBC programmes, Saturday evenings I seem to remember about 6.30 and he was always very good company. One of the nice guys that I met in the music business. |
