“I was very saddened to hear that Pat Fish (The Jazz Butcher) has died. I only met Pat twice but in his company, it felt like I was with an old friend. After a gig in Northampton, he insisted on jumping in our van to take us somewhere that he knew would blow our minds. He gave out clear directions and after 15 minutes or so he told us to stop the van and declared ”That’s the house where Bela Lugosi’s Dead was written”. Thank you, Pat. A lovely fellow and I know he will be greatly missed.” wrote Duglas T Stewart.
