Some very sad news that Michael Eagleton who ran Marlow Jazz Club passed on Monday 9 September 2024 after a short illness. This from Nigel Price who last played at the club in June this year:
“Michael Eagleton told me he was ill last time I saw him. I didn’t realise how ill. We have lost one of the best people. He really loved the music, loved the people and did an incredible amount of work for the jazz community out in Marlow. he was just the sweetest guy and his death will bring profound sadness to hundreds if not thousands of people.”
From Simon Lenton who supported Michael at Marlow Jazz Club for the last six years:
“This is very sad news indeed. A lovely unassuming and quietly determined man with a huge passion for this music. To have brought the highest quality jazz to Marlow for 47 years is an extraordinary achievement. My best wishes and condolences to his widow Ann. Michael will be greatly missed.
“Michael was jazz in Marlow and brought countless musicians of the highest quality to the club. He was also a very successful presenter and DJ on Marlow FM, an expert on the town and its history, and a published author of local books.”
