[Dixielandjazz] Brian Savegar

[Clive Smith]

Dear all

I dont know how many of you will have known Brian Savegar, a lovely bloke
who many years ago occupied the trumpet chair of Acker Bilk's band.

He lived in New Orleans for some years round the turn of the century before
deciding to up sticks and move to Roumoules in southern France about five
years ago.

I just received the news that Brian died yesterday, Saturday, following a
long struggle with diabetes.

Cheers
