Keith Lamb receiving a special certificate after 10 years as leader
Keith Lamb has been the Jazz Appreciation Group’s leader and main presenter for almost ten years. At the May meeting he played his final number in this role but will return in November as our guest. Members echoed the appreciation expressed by John Butterworth, who presented Keith with a special certificate.
Although U3A (unlike the regular University sector) does not require its members to have any qualifications nor does it award any degrees or certificates normally, the group felt the Keith well justified the title of “Professor of Jazz Appreciation”.
We will miss his music, stories and humour. Thank you Keith from us all.
