Bebop Spoken There
Stan Woodward: ''We're part of the British jazz scene, but we don't play London jazz. We play Newcastle jazz. The Knats album represents many things, but most importantly that Newcastle isn't overlooked". (DownBeat, April 2025).
The Things They Say!
This is a good opportunity to say thanks to BSH for their support of the jazz scene in the North East (and beyond) - it's no exaggeration to say that if it wasn't for them many, many fine musicians, bands and projects across a huge cross section of jazz wouldn't be getting reviewed at all, because we're in the "desolate"(!) North. (M & SSBB on F/book 23/12/24)

Ned Kelly's! There's a blast from my past. Great times had there.
Hi Rob,
Ned Kelly's is still going strong, and on the 18th, December, 2012 will be 40 years old, what years were you in Hong Kong, maybe you were with the british military !!!!!!
Used to visit there once a year when the QE2 docked in. All the band members used to go there from the ship.
I remember the QE2 musicians, I was part time at Neds from 1994 -1997 and took over full time in 1998, there was a very good alto sax player who used to come over called Mark Hutchings,do you nremember him !!! the guys still come over from the ships, except now it is the Queen Mary & Queen Victoria, were you a musician on board yourself !!!
Many a good session with the QE2 boys...
Probably the only place we didn't get barred from on that world cruise
