Jack Tait and Morning Lockett

RIP Jack Tait, a great loss to Isle of Wight music

Members of the Isle of Wight music scene, and music lovers alike, will be saddened to hear of the death of a much-loved and very talented musician.

Jack Tait, the one-man band who also played with many of the Island’s greatest musicians has sadly passed away.

We always enjoyed listening to Jack play, whether it was solo or part of a band and will miss his talent.

Thanks to Paul Armfield for sharing the news, we’re sure many would like to add their condolences and we expect there’ll be plenty of tributes made to him at today’s Kashmir Fringe at Quay Arts.

Our thoughts are with Jack’s family, friends and colleagues.
