This week my guest on The JazzBites Show was born in England and married into one of Jamaica's most established colonial families in the 1970s. Known for his work in supporting charitable organisations across the globe, he's helped terminally-ill children in the former Vietnamese Refugee Camp in Hong Kong where he was Governor of The Hong Kong Sea School for Boys, and also assisted first-hand in a home for disabled children in Dubai; and sits on the Rwanda and Burundi's Akilah Women's Institute Global Advisory Council. A gentleman of considerable and diverse talent in the world of business and commerce, he works closely with organisations worldwide in the United States, West Indies, South America, Asia, Europe, the Middle-East, Africa and India. Today, he talks to JazzBites about his latest adventure - the newly-published biography he's written about one of the most outspoken, controversial, and utterly exciting personalities in English Society today.
