![]() Hello Pat
I've been listening to you and the Chris Barber band for the last 55 years and have bought many a 78, EP, LP and CD over the years. No other band playing what used to be called traditional jazz had the same bounce and effervescence and I'm sorry to hear that you have retired. You have left a lasting legacy. Best wishes on your 80th. I can't believe it! |

![]() Kære Pat !
Hjertelig tillykke med din fødselsdag d.18 marts. Håber, du havde en god fest med familien og gode venner. Jeg har fulgt dig og Chris i alle årene, siden 1954, og var til min første concert i 1955 (nu 95). Du er en fantastik trompetist, altid super spil, flot tone og præcis. Jeg savnede dig ved de seneste concerter, men også, at vi altid fik en lille sluder sammen , efter concerten. Med ønsker om alt godt fremover, fra en af dine største fans. August Michael Dk |

![]() Happy Birthday Mr.H. I've loved your playing and your stage performances since forever it seems! Well,first time I saw you (and the band) was in 1950 somewhen at the Alexandra Gardens in Weymouth (eat your heart out Mr. Snelling) with Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. Later,same town,different theatre,caught you singing "Come Outside" with Graham Burbidge and Eddie Smith in the bar of the Pavillion, My Swedish girlfriend of the time got your autograph . . . and dumped me the same evening. I have questions to ask about that!

Congratulations and Best Wishes on your 80th Birthday. We were sad to hear you leave THE band but understand your reasons and hope that you are thoroughly enjoying your 'retirement', doing all the things you didn't have time for whilst playing so regularly. Have a great time on your birthday and many more of them. Best Wishes, Brian and Margaret Rendle |

![]() Happy Birthday Pat
You have always been my favourite, and I,ve watched and listened in England and on the continent. I play trumpet and still copy some of your phrases (the ones I can manage). Over the years I have sent you Xmas cards and remain a fan of your lovely music and your super-professional stage presence. Kind Regards Tim Eyles |

![]() Dear Pat,
please allow me, to call you by your first name. I know you and your music since 53 years and I never stopped listening. You don't know me, but I have been talking to you at several concerts, and I have a lot of signatures on numerous record sleeves. I confirm, that you are one of the friendliest persons I ever met. Because of this, your ability to make people happy, your influence on music for more than half a century and your common lifework I think they should make you and Chris a SIR. All the best for the future years, Heiner Aumüller |

![]() Geschätzter Herr Halcox
Seit 1959 bin ich ein grosser Fan der Chris Barber Band und ganz speziell von Ihnen mit gegen 50 Konzertbesuchen in England und der Schweiz. Ihr Sound auf der Trompete ist und bleibt einmalig und fehlt leider seit Ihrem Rückzug. Meine Frau und ich wünschen Ihnen für die Zukunft alles Gute in der Hoffnung, Sie anlässlich einer Jubiläumstour mit Chris Barber wieder einmal in der Schweiz zu hören. Besonders würden wir uns freuen, wenn alte New Orleans- und Dixieland-Themen ins Repertoire aufgenommen würden. Viel Glück und Gesundheit und geniessen Sie den Lebensabend Dora und Kurt Widmer |

![]() Dear Pat,
I congratulate you on your birthday and wish you many happy returns. As a keen follower of the Chris Barber Band I have visited numerous (80) concerts during the past 35 years and I have always enjoyed your playing very much, especially when you and Chris joined our band (Savoy Jazzmen) during our 35th anniversary concert in Eindhoven in 1997. Yours, Frans van de Camp |
