Max Roach Poster info wanted.

Another poster from the archives of the late Chris Yates - this time it's the Max Roach Quartet.
However, I have neither date nor venue and it isn't a gig I remember so I'm hoping that someone out there can supply more details.

Chris Yates' book 'Blue Horizons' gives the year as 1989 but nothing more.

Early October 1989. Newcastle Playhouse.

According to the Newcastle University Courier (link below), the concert took place at Newcastle Playhouse on October 5, 1989, at 7:30pm. Max started the show with "The Drum Also Waltzes" and closed it with his customary solo "Mr Hi-Hat" encore. Other tunes on the set list included "Round Midnight," "It's Time," "My Little Suede Shoes," and "Everything I Have Is Yours" (with a long a cappella solo by Odean Pope).
