The most comprehensive listings of jazz clubs worldwide can be found here. I'm proud to say that Bebop Spoken Here is amongst the listings as are Blaydon and Ashington Jazz Clubs.
To add your venue please follow the above link. It could pay off. The next time the night ferry from Amsterdam docks at North Shields instead of asking how to get to The Metro Shopping Centre the passengers will want directions to the Saville or the Porthole or the Crescent Club (providing they like banjos).

Hi Lance
ReplyDeleteGreat that Bebop Spoken Here is listed. However, a word of caution...many of the venues listed in the north ceased presenting jazz gigs years ago (somewhat out of date!!!)

This is an ongoing problem with any listing - Jazz UK being a typical example. Organisers are always keen to be listed but never think of passing on the info when the venture nosedives. I have pointed out some local 'goners' to the website organiser.
ReplyDeleteThe answer is of course to ring up first if you are unsure.
