Review of the Marlborough Jazz Festival

Flicky Harrison
, the Swindon Advertiser, July 2005.

Next we come across some good old rock & roll from Chris Jagger, brother of Rollin Stone Mick and boy does musical talent run in that family.

Chris and his band played a banging set in the festival sponsor's Brewin Dolphin bandstand having the crowds queuing to come in.

The catchy numbers flowed freely from this charismatic artist who has just as much flamboyance as his brother, prancing around on and off the stage with his washboard, guitar or tambourine like a whirling dervish.

Strong numbers and a corking guitarist who had the tendency to stray into a bit of Hendrix in the middle of a boogie- grinning widely at the audience- made this one of the strongest sets of the festival for me.
