The Story

Last year, Dame Cleo was a chosen subject for Sky TV's 'Portrait Artist of the Year' and the results of the competition will be announced on Sky TV at 8pm on April 16th. "Of course we can't tell you who's won!" says Fairweather " - but we already have a special area of our Centre which celebrates the 'Dankworth Dynasty'. And there just happens to be a big available space on our walls if Cleo's portrait wins! If it does we plan an extra-special 'Cleo Laine Day' in June 2019 to celebrate one of 'The Jazz Centre UK's greatest friends. Dame Cleo Laine requested that her portrait should hang within The Jazz Centre UK along with Sir John Dankworth's first piano and other Dankworth and Laine memorabilia.
