Kathryn ‘Mississippi’ Lowdon

Gateshead jazz singer and vocal coach Kathryn Lowdon appeared on BBC Newcastle on Wednesday afternoon to talk about congenital hearing loss and the revelatory effects of a hearing aid. 
Lowdon sang a line or two from Summertime then took up an on-air challenge of teaching presenter John Harle to sing!
The Marley Hill songbird revealed that she has been working on a Mississippi river boat, singing with the New Hope Gospel Choir and preparing for a summer time release of her EP featuring one or two well known faces on the Tyneside jazz scene and some stars of the future from Sage Gateshead’s music education programme.

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.
