Time out for nostalgia:

Unveiling of The Heritage Foundation Blue Plaque for the late great Tubby Hayes.

Seen here his son, Richard.

On Wednesday 31 August, 2016 a small crowd gathered at 34 Kenwyn Road London SW20, to witness Tubby Hayes’ son Richard unveil a Heritage Foundation plaque in honour of his father, who lived in the house from 1936 to 1951.  Hayes frequently returned to his family home during his 23 year professional career, living there again briefly during the early 1970s while recuperating from open-heart surgery.  His mother, Dorothy Kenyon lived in the house until the 1980s.

Former Rutlish school boy,
Edward Brian "Tubby" Hayes was an English jazz multi-instrumentalist, best known for his tenor saxophone playing in groups with fellow sax player Ronnie Scott and with trumpeter Jimmy Deuchar. 

Born:           January 30, 1935, London
Died:           June 8, 1973, Hammersmith
Education:    Rutlish School
Music group: The Jazz Couriers(1957 – 1959)

There have been plans for such an award for some years, all of which had come to nothing, but the Heritage Foundation’s interest was stimulated by writer and film-maker Mark Baxter, the force behind the recent documentary film Tubby Hayes: A Man In A Hurry.
