‘This will be the occasion of the half-century anniversary of John’s monthly concert series (since 1974) and the 5th anniversary of John’s passing. As John loved birthdays and anniversaries. We miss you, now.
‘John was a real inspiration with his intricate guitar playing in the core of improvised music for decades performing with so many great improvisers. He was an astute talent scout and true friend to so many of us, offering warmly their first gigs in London to many newcomers whose talent grew afterwards.
‘Brilliant and lovely. Wisdom and deep understanding, generosity, words and laughs, gifts and jokes and music’.
‘This event will be also the launch concert of John Russell’ last issued CD « Before the Wedding » recorded 12th april 2018 in Ljubljana with myself, voice and issued on Daniel Thompson ’s Empty Birdcage’. emptybirdcagerecords.bandcamp.com
