As well as being the consumate jazz guitarist and coolest of cool vocalists, Roly also has a deep-rooted interest in the music and folklore of his native Tyneside. In the concert mentioned below he displays those roots in a new light giving the songs a complete makeover - updated harmonies, intimate, natural vocal style, some jazz influence.
The Blaydon Aces (Roly and Jim Birkett)
This concert will feature some well known ’Geordie’ tunes and some lesser known but lovely songs. The music of the Tyne is woven into the stones of Gateshead Heritage@St Mary’s and tonights concert is a must for all lovers of traditional Tyneside songs!!

When:19:30 Thu Jul 16, 2009
