Preview: Sarah Ellen Hughes at the Customs House

The Shields Gazette printed this article re Sarah Ellen Hughes' forthcoming appearance at the Customs House next Friday (Oct 21.)
Having heard Sarah at the Cherry Tree and various London venues this is one gig not to be missed.
Note that start time is 8:00pm (it was erroneously stated elsewhere as 8:30pm) and that the Customs House is in South Shields and not Newcastle as shown on the flyers!
With Teesside born pianist Rick Simpson on board the backing should be pretty good too!
See you there.
Lance.

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 them all 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.

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.
