Clive Fenner, a Wanstead stalwart, as well as a musician, artist, teacher and jazz impressario, has died after a long illness.
Clive was a consistently engaging conversationalist, a regular at the Larder and around Wanstead, and the moving force behind the East Side Jazz Club in Leytonstone. Each summer he would lead a jazz school in France, and had recently been doing the same in Cuba.
His funeral will be held in the North Chapel of the City of London Crematorium on Thursday 23 May at 3.15pm. Here is a clip of the man in action. He will be sadly missed.
Clive was a lovely man quietly inspiring to all he met including me I’m just sorry I didn’t get to see him play one more time before he left us poorer for his loss
