Your comments
Well deserved. Kit & his fellow trio members have played at events at Kit’s old school (Norwich School, where I direct the Senior School’s Jazz Band) and have recently held a jazz workshop for us. They are a real inspiration to young musicians who are eager to find their own ‘voice’ and future in music. Best wishes, David
