An absolute privilege to write this video script for the SFA, and some thrill to hear silky Brian Cox narrating my words. A simply stunning short film, this. The game wasn't bad either.

The saddest news... 🙏 Keith was such a passionate, knowledgeable, forward-thinking, risk-taking music lover & selector... plus, he was a lovely human being. He will be sadly missed - big love to all his friends & family! ❤️ Twitch RIP xxx bbc.com/news/articles/c5yjjd…

R. I. P. Brian Kellock, much loved piano colossus, leader of BK3 and accompanist of choice for the stars. The great jam session in the hereafter has just acquired a genuine, big-hearted ambassador for swing.
