6Aug2006 6:39 PM (16 years 307 days ago)Dear Pat et al,
For what it's worth I stumbled across the following ancient
article in the Guardian. (Google: olaf palme jazz butcher it's the
11 hit)
http://arts.guardian.co.uk/fridayreview/story/
0,12102,1353957,00.html
Enjoy...
I'm hoping by adding to your press cuttings, you'll play Olaf
Palme on the 16th - any chance ???
