- I'm not personally familiar with the site, but I doubt it would be considered as a reliable source. The kind of sources we would be looking for to include this information would be things like BBC News, The Guardian, The Times, and so on. The General Registry Office may also be usable, but even then we couldn't be certain any information provided refers to the right person. This is Paul (talk) 20:12, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

A bit of housekeeping
The 2020 Love Supreme Jazz Festival has been postponed till 2021 because of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic in the United Kingdom. The source comes from the Jazz FM website and I don't know how long they stay live, so need to archive it, but don't want to archive it in the article it's in as that will archive everything else and expand the article from its current 300KB to who knows what, so I'll try it here. Here's the source.[1]
