National Jazz and Blues Festival

Okay, here's a challenge for any passers-by. Just leave a "comment" with your answer (walesrubbish, forever hold your piece!)

Fore-runner of the Reading Festival, the National Jazz and Blues Festival run by the Marquee Club once featured Arthur Brown, Fairport Convention and an un-listed, un-promoted Eric Clapton with jet lag. It was also the year the roof came down.

What year? Where? What was the national tabloid story?

Closing date for entries: Dec 31, 2020.

    Alright, I give in ... everyone's ignoring me. Perhaps because it's not important that the tabloids covered a collapsing roof that damn near killed a load of people during Arthur Brown's set. And I wuz there.

    Get a grip, you lot. This is history being revealed in this 'ere blog. Bleedin' history, innit!!!

    Some of these comments are ... what's last month's important word??? Random. Really random.

    ... and who cares. What has this to do with Jazz? The most misunderstood term these days. Look at the people who are considered jazz 'musicians'. Jamie Cullum ... the Mrs Mills of the 90's!
