IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT re VOICE OF THE NORTH JAZZ ORCHESTRA GIG AT SUNDERLAND

John Warren, leader of the Voice of the North Jazz Orchestra, has pointed out some important details missing from the published flyer of the band's forthcoming concert at Sunderland Campus on March 8.
It should include the following:
Issie Barratt and the Voice of the North Jazz Orchestra featuring her commissioned piece "Noneffency" and other compositions by herself and John Warren. with Steve Waterman as guest soloist.
This is, in effect, the same concert - plus Steve Waterman - that I and others raved about in November last year when the band played the Georgian Theatre in Stockton. Click here for previous review.
Don't miss this one - they don't come any better.
In the meantime, as an appetiser, look in on "Splinter" - the VOTNJO 'chips off the old block' small group - at Corner House on Thursday Mar 5. 8.00 pm.
