St Ives Jazz Club, at the The Western Hotel, will celebrate the life and legacy of Mike Quirke tomorrow night — cherished blues and jazz singer, father, grandfather, and friend to many. Enjoy a special live set from his sons Dave (guitar) and Tom (piano), and grandson Josh (drums), performing a selection of Mike’s favourite music. There will also be live performances from his friends Kris Gayle and Roger Winslet. Prizes will be up for grabs, including artwork, chocolate, wine, and music-themed treats. "Entry is free, but we’ll be taking a collection to raise money for a new video camera for the club — part of Mike’s lasting legacy," said a club spokesperson. "The goal is to support artists by capturing performances for promotional use, helping keep live music thriving." St Ives Jazz Club
