Secret Love's no secret any more.

After the success of her previous tour acclaimed actress/singer Claudia Morris once again takes her Doris Day tribute show "Secret Love" on the road with 26 dates spread over February and March. Sadly, there aren't any performances in the north east which is a shame as this lady can sing and doesn't attempt to copy DD.
However, if you live in Crewe, Kettering, Skegness, Newark, Croydon, Bury St. Edmonds, Buxton, Radlett, Worthing, Hastings, Stevenage, Horsham, Hunstanton, Camberley, Wycombe, Edmonton - to mention but a few then you're in luck!
Tour details.
Video samples.
Highly recommended.

About this blog - contact details.

Bebop Spoken Here -- Here, being the north-east of England -- centred in the blues heartland of Newcastle and reaching down to the Tees Delta and looking upwards to the Land of the Kilt.
Not a very original title, I know; not even an accurate one as my taste, whilst centred around the music of Bird and Diz, extends in many directions and I listen to everything from King Oliver to Chick Corea and beyond. Not forgetting the Great American Songbook the contents of which has provided the inspiration for much great jazz and quality popular singing for round about a century.
The idea of this blog is for you to share your thoughts and pass on your comments on discs, gigs, jazz - music in general. If you've been to a gig/concert or heard a CD that knocked you sideways please share your views with us. Tell us about your favourites, your memories, your dislikes.
