Having enjoyed many happy hours, listening to “THE Band”, could ou perhaps get aropund to visiting Lincoln once again. We are a bit starved of your quality of music, up here in the sticks. If not here, then could please tell me how close you are getting to the Lincoln area. Thank you, and especially to Bill Ashton, who has nurtured NYJO along the way, so, Bill, for ALL your hard work, and the pleasure you have enabled us jazz lovers to enjoy, a heartfelt THANKYOU. Kindest of regards, Bryan

Dear Bill
From Portugal I’ll never forget you since 1996 with Fernando Tordo.
NYJO was one of the most important jobs I had in that twenty years of my career: Because of the people, because of the dedication, because of the lessons of life you gave me in those days. Many Congratulatinos.

Well done Bill!
We think it should have gone a stage higher!

Sorry these greetings aren’t sooner but we are NOT computer people so we didn’t see this area sooner. It was hearing of the death of Chris on Claire Teal’s program that Linda got onto your website to find out more.

Our thoughts are with your family and his.

Bill,

Congratulations but when are Establishment going to wake up and knight you. Your wife would be recognised as the lady she is!

Sorry – a bit slow on the uptake – rather like the ‘powers that be’ on such matters! Your OBE is well-earned and more than fitting for nearly a life-time’s work and dedication to NYJO. Many, many congratulations.
