Alune Wade & Family Affair / faiith (presented by the JGI)
About This Event
The bill at National Sawdust lists Alune Wade, Family Affair and faiith in a jazz program presented by the JGI. Family Affair is better known as a British soap opera that debuted on Channel 5 on 30 March 1997, ran five half‑hour weekday episodes with a Sunday omnibus and underwent several cast and premise revamps; its appearance on a jazz roster highlights an unusual crossing of television roots into a live-music context.
