A Testimonial Concert for Keith Tippett - Entrepreneur Generations

There will be a testimonial Concert for Keith Tippett, who is recovering from a heart attack with complications and is unable to work at present.  The event will be held at The Theatre, RNCM, Manchester on Sunday 28th October at 4pm and will feature Tippett associates; Matthew Bourne (piano), Dave Kane (Bass), Graham Clark (guitar & violin), Martin Archer (saxes) and Peter Fairclough (drums). 

Keith Tippett is a major star of British Jazz. A unique voice as a composer with a bright, crystalline tone and fleet, fluid phrasing as a pianist, Tippett has a most imaginative approach.  His projects range from solo piano concerts, duos with Julie Tippetts through string quartet, choir, jazz orchestra to the celebrated Centipede - a 50 piece orchestra including the best musicians of the day.  His talents have also graced other artists music to great effect; The Dedication Orchestra, Soft Machine and, famously, King Crimson.

Keith plays concerts all over the world but in early 2018, he suffered a heart attack and his recovery has been slowed by complications which mean that a man who has devoted his whole life to the pursuit of excellence in art is currently unable to work and earn a living.

Please support Keith at this time   He really has given his all to his music.

Thank you for reading this message,

Peter Fairclough
