There will be a celebration of Ian Carr ‘s life and music on Tuesday Feb 23rd in the Queen Elizabeth Hall, also fundraising for Alzheimer’s charities.

It’s not yet on the South Bank’s schedule yet. On the bill are the four surviving members of the Rendell-Carr Band, a revived Nucleus, plus Guy Barker performing “Northumbrian Sketches” with a 17 piece string orchestra.

A hat-tip for Lance Liddle’s bebop spoken here blog which broke the news. Serious inform me that South Bank Centre members will be able to book from this Friday, and the general public like you n me on Saturday. More details later in the week.
