Facebook – A Modernist
January 30th 2015 marked what would have been the 80th birthday of Edward Brian Hayes, known to the world of jazz as Tubby. A professional jazz musician at just fifteen, by his untimely death at thirty-eight, he had left behind a body of work, that has both stood the test of time and has proven to be an inspiration to many like minded musicians today.
For ten years from the mid 1950s to the middle of 1960s, jazz musician, composer and arranger, Tubby Hayes became a household name in Britain. He had his own shows on national television and he played on some of the most iconic recordings of that era, including the soundtracks to the films ‘Alfie’ and ‘The Italian Job’. Tubby became the first solo UK jazz performer to be invited to play in the United States, where Miles Davis attended his first gig in New York and his services were much in demand here in the UK by the likes of Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Henry Mancini, Quincy Jones and Dizzy Gillespie. However, the combination of years of over work, drug abuse and the rise of Pop music in the UK – much to the detriment of the world of British jazz – ultimately found Tubby struggling to complete sometimes poorly attended concerts. He had burnt very brightly but then quickly faded from the general publics consciousness soon after his untimely death in June 1973. Perhaps, now a forgotten man by many. But 2015, over forty years since his sad demise, Tubby and his numerous recordings from a highly productive twenty-year period have steadily attracted a growing band of dedicated fans around the globe.
October 2015 will see the release of the film ‘Tubby Hayes – A Man In A Hurry’ narrated by actor and Hayes fan Martin Freeman (produced by Mark Baxter/directed by Lee Cogswell). Featuring exclusive interviews with people that knew Tubby, worked with him, musicians influenced by him, people from the music industry and fans, Tubby Hayes – A Man in a Hurry charts the life and times of Tubby Hayes.

The ‘Tubby’ plaque could only really go to one place and that was on the old Hayes family home at 34 Kenwyn Road, Raynes Park. Thanks to the current owners who kindly agreed and who made us welcome on the day, though they wanted to keep it a small event in the end, hence the radio silence.
We were delighted that Richard Hayes, son of the great man, could make the unveiling, perfect man for the job.
Tubby Hayes – A Man in a Hurry has won the 2016 Audience Award For Best Feature Film, the Chichester International Film Festival.
