Horn Dogs @ The Tyneside Irish Centre Dec. 10

The Horn Dogs at the Irish Centre were excellent. Graham Hardy made me feel at home as I was relief doorman for the night. (I paid my entry fee - as I do at The Elephant). Poor turn out. Unfortunately the audience was about the same size as the band and made up of family and friends. Paul Susans and the percussionists gave it that real New Orleans Swing. I did not realise they had a reed man. He fitted in very sympathetically with the all brass front line.
John.

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.

Submissions for review

Whilst we appreciate the many emails, texts, messages and other communications we receive requesting album/gig reviews on BSH, regrettably, we are unable to reply to all of them other than those we are able to answer with a positive response.
Similarly, CDs received by post will only be considered if accompanied by sufficient background material.
Finally, bear in mind that this is a jazz-based site when submitting your album.
