Walking down Villiers Street at lunchtime today I was drawn to the small nearby green bit (a park, the name of which I know not) by beautiful music. I ended up sitting by the pavilion there for about an hour, listening to Jazz being effortlessly played by a band that I think might have been called the John Statterton Hot Four.
While sitting there, in the lovely mild sunshine, I also soaked up the great Craig Thompson interview in this month’s Comics Journal.
