Tonight Two gigs for a Quid.

Xmas may be almost upon us but Santa has come early for jazz fans.
Tonight that great new band, Lickety Split play on the Concourse at The Sage, Gateshead. It is free and they give the down beat at 6:00pm.
I have yet to hear them although everyone who has done raves about the band so give it a shot.
The early start means you also have time to hot foot over to The Chilli on Chillingham Road, Heaton for the annual Xmas Party by the Take It To The Bridge outfit. Admission is but one pound sterling. I understand tenor player Doug is ill and unable to make it so I'm sure Dave will find an adequate replacement - Paul Gowland perhaps?.
So there you have it - 2 gigs for £1 with the added attraction of, possibly, some of Dave's legendary applecake.
Alternatively you could fork out £34.50 for Jools Holland at the City Hall.
