Bebop Spoken There

NEWS FLASH! River City Jazzmen end Jesmond residency.

I am informed by an impeccable source that the River City Jazzmen, longtime Tuesday night residents at Jesmond's Royal British Legion Club, have ended their association with the club.
Trombone playing leader Gordon Solomon announced at the end of this week's session that they would not be returning.
The move came as a surprise as the Legion was a popular venue and the RJC drew a decent following.
No further information is available at present.
