John Dankworth




It is with incredible sadness that I write about the death of Sir John Dankworth. We have been playing at the Stables tonight, all the cast knew the news before the concert. Cleo Jaqui and Alec played and sang incredibly ( I dont know how), and Cleo announced the news at the end of the concert to a very shocked audience. Can't quite believe it at the moment.

We are very sorry to hear the sad news of John Dankworth 's death, and would like to offer our deepest condolence to Cleo, Jaqui, Alec, family and friends. The concert sounds like a brave, wonderful, and honourable personal gift to John's memory. Thank you. My sons and family, have precious, unforgettable memories, and photographs from the mid 1980's of times shared at The Stables during 'Children's Music Camps, a pioneering and
innovative experience. Music & performance remain central to our lives. Thank you again, with warmth & sympathy. Leslee, Dan, Joel & family.
