The
King of English Jazz, Humphrey Littleton Dies
UK JAZZ legend
and presenter of Radio 4 comedy show, 'I'm Sorry I Haven't A
Clue', Humphrey Littleton, aged 86, died 26 April 2008. The
latest series of his quiz programme was cancelled by the BBC after
he was admitted to Barnet Hospital, North London, on 16 April 2008,
to repair an aortic aneurysm. Best known as a musician, Littleton
began playing the trumpet in 1936 and still toured with his band up
until recently. In 1956, Lyttelton's Band with Penny Blues, was the
first British jazz record to enter the top 20. Our editor and many
of the members of the Formby Millennium Committee looked back to the
Formby Festivals, which he attended and performed at. All have said
that he was "A fantastic and very friendly person to be
around. He has done a huge amount for charity throughout his
lifetime and we were so pleased to have had him playing in Formby,
not once, but on several occasions. What struck us all was how he
interacted with the Sefton Youth Jazz Orchestra's members and how
enthusiastic he was towards them. He was a fantastic
ambassador for jazz to the younger generations and a major loss to
the UK's music industry. He was also a fantastic role model.
He will still be an inspiration for generations to come through his
music."

Ormskirk 4 Jaguars 3
Due to illness the Jags only had 6 players. The game started
with Ormskirk using their advantage of the extra man and scoring an
early goal but the Jags didn’t let that stop them and began to
dominate the game. A great cross from Kai Wilson was met by Josh
Huyton who scored to equalise. A mistake at the back allowed
Ormskirk to claim a second goal but this was soon cancelled out by
Kyle Bell who left the scores even at half time.
The beginning of the
2nd half was once again dominated by the Jags pushing forward and
the pressure told with a great move by Kallum Graham who passed out
wide to Josh Huyton to cross in to Kyle Bell who flicked the ball to
Tyler Rimmer to blast the ball into the net taking the Jags into the
lead but the tired legs and lots of bruises were beginning to take
the toll on the Jags. Ormskirk scored two goals in quick
succession to make it 4-3. Jags fought back but couldn’t find the
net.
Birkdale 2 Southport Juniors 1
The final game of the season saw Southport Juniors going to Birkdale
looking to get a result against a team that over the last two
seasons they have struggled against. Birkdale started the
stronger with lots of possession but all in all both keepers had
nothing to do until the game kicked into life. C.Rimmer and
J.Edmondson combined well to set L.Harwood free who, made no mistake
but while Southport where still celebrating Birkdale got level
through J.Milton who finished very well from a tight angle leaving
the scores level at half time.
The 2nd half started
with both teams making changes which didn't effect the overall play.
Birkdale again playing the better, with lots of the ball but their
final ball was missing. Birkdale’s corners caused endless
problems and their movement was great but Southport defended well
and A.Thorpe in his unusual role of striker had three one on ones
with Bondie in goal who did well on all three occasions.
Birkdale finally broke the deadlock with a good move involving three
or four passes and a great finish. Nobody could argue with
that. Birkdale deserved to win today but Southport battled hard
throughout. |
