Peter Lorre isn’t really dead. And neither, thankfully, is The Jazz Butcher
The unsung genius of Pat Fish
For those who don’t know, Pat Fish aka The Jazz Butcher is very nearly the greatest English songwriter of the 1980s. As Alan McGee, the man who signed Oasis, put it:
“He’s good a songwriter as I have heard in my life - ever. He has been criminally overlooked by a world obsessed with celebrity, not worth.” Famous admirers include Mark E. Smith, R.E.M., Teenage Fanclub and director Roland Emmerich, who once chartered a private jet from Cannes to Barcelona just so he could see JB play.
BNET has an excellent feature on The Jazz Butcher written by Independent journalist William Whiteside. It’s well worth reading.
