OBITUARY: PAT WADE 1926-2009 by Peter JF Newton
OBITUARY: PAT WADE 1926-2009 by Peter J F Newton ______________________________________________________ [This obituary appeared in the New South Wales Jazz Archive Newsletter, Vol 10, Nos 3-4, July-December, 2009] atrick Lawrence Wade-Brown was his real name but he was better known to jazz lovers in the UK and Australia by his stage name, Pat Wade. He was born P at West Kensington, London, on 21 November 1926. Both parents were show business people working in London’s West End, his mother being a ‘revue’ actress working with the great British comedy actor Jack Hulbert and other musical comedy personalities, while his father was a ballroom dancer in a working partnership with Victor Sylvester, teaching at such fashionable London establishments as the Savoy Hotel, the Ritz and Quaglino’s; engaged, so Pat has said, in ‘teaching and generally gigolo-ing’. Because of his parents’ connections and their record collection, Pat was exposed to American jazz, swing and dance bands of the 20s and 30s. As a youngster, he wanted to learn clarinet but was denied this opportunity by his father. Because of work, the family moved to the Hampshire/Dorset region where Pat was schooled ‘at a procession of private primary and grammar schools’. Pat Wade, pictured in Sydney in 1977… PHOTO CREDIT NORM LINEHAN He went on to study art at Bournemouth (his eye for art surfaced much later in his skilfully prepared photographs of Balmain and other built scenes around Sydney), then took up guitar and had his first gig at the Bournemouth Rhythm Club in 1943. -
