Syd was a great friend of Upton Jazz, a valued member of our team for over 30 years. Syd was a star - he never appeared on stage but his filming and videos were of the highest quality and he spread the word for Upton Jazz far and wide. He and Beryl became friends to many bands and musicians over the years and Syd always gave hours of his time to editing, providing and sharing videos. His contribution is recognised and recorded in our archive illustrating the history of jazz in Upton upon Severn - a jazz festival with an international reputation. We offer our condolences to Beryl and the family.
