Happy Birthday Dad!


My father is 80 today. Here is a lovely photo of the pair of us, taken some years ago. Dad is best known for his animation but what is perhaps less well known are his many musical accomplishments - he plays cornet at a professional level and his band Dix Six played regular gigs in London for decades, and produced several CDs.

In fact he still plays regularly - he has a gig in Cardiff coming up soon.

So put a Bix Beiderbecke record on your turntable and wish my father a very happy 80th birthday.

Happy Birthday Dad!

----Alex
