Here's some of the feedback from the British Library event:

a really inspiring evening email FK a very enjoyable and successful evening email KC a great night! Twitter MK

[The] project has really taken off and become a serious part of the cultural landscape of London. It was quite an evening and without being too dramatic I had the sense of a great future for the project. A sterling cast of presenters and some truly inspiration words and work. Email MA

[The] project [came] to life in a small space in one of the most eminent locations in the country. Those who came helped make the evening inspiring, memorable, and [took] pride in being a contributor. Email EC

Really enjoyed the evening…… Thought the spoken word guys and the mr fowakan were really powerful WhatsApp PB
...and here's how some of the 50 plus contributors imagined John Blanke:
I imagined John Blanke as….a jazz musician a man who was proud and confident a strong minded individual Shabaka Hutchings a talented career musician not as an image I hear him a reflection of myself a bold and brassy leader a powerful force of sound a talented proud yet sad man a seasoned traveller a cheerful fellow someone who strived to use his skills to succeed a fellow diaspora musician and parent having a strong sense of determination perhaps quite fearless a lone black person in the white context of the Royal Court a learned man a graphic crowbar an exceptional musician a survivor a confident and assertive character
