BBC Radio 4 - Chairman Humph: A Tribute Introduced as "the antidote to panel games", it consists of two teams of two comedians "given silly things to do" by a chairman. The 50th series was broadcast in November and December After a period of split chairmanship in the first series, [2] Humphrey Lyttelton "Humph" served in this role from the programme's inception until his death in A panel game with no competition was not itself a new idea: the BBC had a history of successful quiz shows designed to allow witty celebrities to entertain where winning was not important. Dave Lee, who was bandleader on I'm Sorry I'll Read That Againwas at the piano and a number of rounds were introduced by a short phrase of music. Since then the fourth seat on the panel has featured a variety of guest comedians. The show has over two million listeners on Radio 4 and its recording sessions typically fill seat theatres within a week of being advertised. Although there are twelve Clue shows broadcast per year these are the result of just six recording sessions, with two programmes being recorded back-to-back. The show was recently voted the second funniest radio programme ever, after The Goon Show. It has a large following among professional comedians such as Armando Iannucciwho turned down opportunities to work on it as he preferred to remain a listener. Humphrey Lytteltonprimarily known as a jazz trumpeter and bandleader, was invited to be chairman because of the role played by improvisation in both comedy and jazz music. He claimed the secret was just to read what was in front of him without understanding why it was funny. He adopted the grumpy persona of someone who would really rather be somewhere else, which he attributed Im Sorry I Havent a Clue: Chairman Humph - A Tribute worrying that, surrounded by four professional comedians, he would have nothing worthwhile to chip in. He did occasionally depart from the script, however, often bringing the house down with an ad-lib. On 18 April the producer of I'm Sorry I Haven't A ClueJon Naismithannounced that, owing to hospitalisation to repair an aortic aneurysmHumphrey Lyttelton would be unable to record the scheduled shows and that they would have to be postponed. The final show of the Best of tour on 22 April would be presented by Rob Brydon. In the Clue mailout Im Sorry I Havent a Clue: Chairman Humph - A Tribute September Naismith stated: "Despite the rumours, we've made no decisions about possible replacements for Humph, and are unlikely to make any decisions this year at least. Certainly I don't envisage us selecting anyone on a permanent basis for several series. The first new shows would be hosted by rotating guest presenters similarly to the format of Have I Got News for You before a permanent replacement host was decided. Every series since then has been chaired by Dee. However, Colin Sell now usually fills this role. He is often the butt of jokes about his musical ability to which he is unable to respond as he has no microphone. Lyttelton's band also appeared on a couple of Christmas specials. It was chosen by David Hatch. Guests have included: [10]. Raymond Baxter was occasionally drafted to commentate on sessions of Mornington Crescent and also presented the one-off special Everyman's Guide to Mornington Crescent. A episode featured a round of Useless Celebritiesa parody of Pointless Celebritiesand featured Richard Osman as the co-presenter this was broadcast three years before Osman appeared on the panel. A episode featured a spoof of The Chase which featured Anne Hegertyone of the Chasers from the show. On one occasion Humph announced that they had a very distinguished actor as a guest who would join in the game of Mornington Crescent. When the game started, after great ceremony, the penultimate player, the last of the panellists, won on his first move, thus denying the distinguished guest the opportunity to make a single move. The chairman apologised but explained that this was an unavoidable possibility and the guest left without having uttered a word. The show was allegedly inundated with complaints at the treatment of Sir Alec Guinness as on the actual recording Lyttelton can be heard to say, "Well I'm very sorry about that. Rather unfortunate. We would like to go on and ask you a few things about what you're doing currently, Sir Alec, but we do have to hurry on to the next game. Since 18 May in the Im Sorry I Havent a Clue: Chairman Humph - A Tribute episode as Kenny Everett made his debut the show has included a fictional and completely silent scorer "whose job is eased by the fact no points are actually awarded", usually "the lovely Samantha" who sits on Humph's left hand. There is a seat with a microphone next to the Chairman which is "used" by Samantha. During the introductory music Humphrey Lyttelton would stand up and "help" Samantha into her seat. In practice the seat and microphone were only used by the producer to welcome the audience, to introduce the participants and to give any other information to the audience such as the expected date of broadcasting, and to supervise re-recordings of fluffs made in the programme. Lyttelton would describe Samantha's social activities, usually in an apology received from the unseen character who had been detained, often with a "gentleman friend". His comments included sexual innuendo and double entendreslike "Samantha likes nothing better than a little potter in the woodshed in the morning", though many were far more daring and explicit. During early episodes of Samantha's appearance on the show, it was not completely clear that she was a fictional character, garnering complaints about the sexist and humiliating treatment she received. Producer Jon Naismith recalled "when we [Naismith and Iain Pattinson] took over the show we used to get quite a few letters accusing us of sexist references to Samantha" [36] the character was named after the page 3 topless model Samantha Fox. Samantha has sometimes been replaced by a Swedish stand-in, Svenor occasionally another substitute, Monica. In an episode in November both Samantha and Sven were present but occupied with each other and unable to award points. The programme's scoring is completely nonexistent. Most of the show is scripted, but in rounds such as "Sound charades", where one team of panellists have to guess the charade of the Im Sorry I Havent a Clue: Chairman Humph - A Tribute team, the answer may be obvious usually a pun but the opposing team are now actually not told the answer. In recording, it has taken them many minutes to come up with the correct answer, most of which has to be edited out before broadcast. In rounds in which the panel must not see what the audience sees, there is the "advanced laser display-board" actually a sign with the answer written on, held by Jon Naismithsometimes described in more elaborate terms and "so generously funded by our hosts" but these of course do not exist: they are conveyed to "listeners at home" by the "mystery voice", alluding to the s radio programme Twenty Questions. A regular feature on the programme, preceding the game Mornington Crescent, is a fictional letters section which begins with the chairman's comments "I notice from the sheer weight of this week's postbag, we've received a little over no letters" and "I see from the number Im Sorry I Havent a Clue: Chairman Humph - A Tribute letters raining down on us this week that the Scrabble factory has exploded again". The invariably single letter each week is from "A Mrs Trellis of North Wales ", one of the many prompts for a cheer from the audience, whose incoherent letters usually mistake the chairman for another Radio 4 presenter or media personality. My aunt told me that, but then all my new wallpaper fell off.

During this period, jazz was presented in a variety of ways in different venues, on four of which I focus: New Orleans-style jazz commonly performed for the same audiences in Rhythm Clubs and in concert halls (as shown by George Webb’s Dixielanders at the Red Barn public house and the King’s Hall); clubs hosting different styles of jazz on different nights of the week that brought in different audiences (such as the 100 Club on Oxford Street); clubs with a fixed stylistic ideology that changed venue, taking a regular fan base and musicians to different locations (such as Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club); and jazz in theatres (such as the Little Theatre Club and Mike West- brook’s compositions for performance in the Mermaid Theatre).

  • Eric Hobsbawm and All That Jazz RICHARD J
    Eric Hobsbawm and all that jazz RICHARD J. EVANS The latest annual collection of Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the British Academy, published in December 2015, includes an extended obituary of Eric Hobsbawm (1917-2012), written by Professor Sir Richard Evans FBA. Hobsbawm was one of the UK’s most renowned modern historians and left-wing public intellectuals. His influential three-volume history of the 19th and 20th centuries, published between 1962 and 1987, put a new concept on the historiographical map: ‘the long 19th century’. The full obituary may be found via www.britishacademy.ac.uk/memoirs/14/ This extract from the obituary reveals Eric Hobsbawm’s less well-known interest in jazz. here seemed to be no problem in Eric’s combining his post at Birkbeck College [University of London] Twith his Fellowship at King’s College Cambridge, but when the latter came to an end in 1954 he moved permanently to London, occupying a large flat in Torrington Place, in Bloomsbury, close to Birkbeck, which he shared over time with a variety of Communist or ex- Communist friends. Gradually, as he emerged from the depression that followed the break-up of his marriage, he began a new lifestyle, in which the close comradeship and sense of identity he had found in the Communist movement was, above all from 1956 onwards, replaced by an increasingly intense involvement with the world of jazz. Already before the war his cousin Denis Preston had played records by Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith and other musicians to him on a wind-up gramophone Eric Hobsbawm (1917-2012) was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in Preston’s mother’s house in Sydenham.

  • NJA British Jazz Timeline with Pics(Rev3) 11.06.19
    British Jazz Timeline Pre-1900 – In the beginning The music to become known as ‘jazz’ is generally thought to have been conceived in America during the second half of the nineteenth century by African-Americans who combined their work songs, melodies, spirituals and rhythms with European music and instruments – a process that accelerated after the abolition of slavery in 1865. Black entertainment was already a reality, however, before this evolution had taken place and in 1873 the Fisk Jubilee Singers, an Afro- American a cappella ensemble, came to the UK on a fundraising tour during which they were asked to sing for Queen Victoria. The Fisk Singers were followed into Britain by a wide variety of Afro-American presentations such as minstrel shows and full-scale revues, a pattern that continued into the early twentieth century. [The Fisk Jubilee Singers c1890s © Fisk University] 1900s – The ragtime era Ragtime, a new style of syncopated popular music, was published as sheet music from the late 1890s for dance and theatre orchestras in the USA, and the availability of printed music for the piano (as well as player-piano rolls) encouraged American – and later British – enthusiasts to explore the style for themselves. Early rags like Charles Johnson’s ‘Dill Pickles’ and George Botsford’s ‘Black and White Rag’ were widely performed by parlour-pianists. Ragtime became a principal musical force in American and British popular culture (notably after the publication of Irving Berlin’s popular song ‘Alexander’s Ragtime Band’ in 1911 and the show Hullo, Ragtime! staged at the London Hippodrome the following year) and it was a central influence on the development of jazz.

  • Trad Jazz in 1950S Britain—Protest, Pleasure, Politics— Interviews with Some of Those Involved
    Trad jazz in 1950s Britain—protest, pleasure, politics— interviews with some of those involved George McKay These are transcriptions of interviews and correspondence undertaken as part of an Arts and Humanities Research Board (now Council)-funded project exploring the cultures and politics of traditional jazz in Britain in the 1950s. The project ran through 2001-2002 and was entitled American Pleasures, Anti- American Protest: 1950s Traditional Jazz in Britain. I edited responses, and structured them here according to the main issues I asked about and to key points that seemed to recur from different interviewees. There is a short-ish introduction to give a sense of context to readers unfamiliar with that period of Britain’s cultural history. I hugely enjoyed meeting and talking with these people, whose cultural and political autobiographies were full of energy, rebellion, fun, with music at the heart. Thank you. Some—Jeff Nuttall, George Melly—are, sadly, now dead. Material from these interviews, and a second set I undertook with modern jazzers and enthusiasts (I acknowledge that the distinction between trad and modern doesn’t always bear scrutiny) was included in my book Circular Breathing: The Cultural Politics of Jazz in Britain (Duke University Press, 2005). Do contact me if you have any queries. George McKay University of Salford, UK [email protected] April 2002; revised (with extra images) September 2002; revised introduction January 2010 (little has change except the point that I now know that the David Boulton jazz historian and the David Boulton of CND were one and the same person) Most of the archive photographs here are either from Jeff Nuttall’s photo album, which he gave me at the end of our interview in Abergavenny—I’d like to pass it on to a family member, please—or © and courtesy of the Ken Colyer Trust: www.kencolyertrust.org 1 Introduction British jazz has arrived, in Britain at any rate.

St Cecilia Event The November outing saw eleven members attending the Festival of St Cecilia at Westminster Abbey, after which we went to Tate Britain to see an exhibition of paintings by Millais. As is the current style, early paintings gave way to mature ones, mainly portraiture, then late works, huge Scottish landscapes. Thursday morning found us at the Royal Academy, viewing “Making History, Antiquaries in Britain” and in the evening we enjoyed a humorous and lively production of “The 39 Steps”.
