Featuring The
Lindsay Hannon Plus; Don Forbes Safe Sextet; Jazz Funk Master D
I’m unable to
give an adequate review of this because I wasn't able to stay very long, so I’d
love someone else to chip in with an account of the evening. This was a very sociable gig in a crowded
venue which had a pleasant, almost rural atmosphere with lots of plants, a
wooden-arched terraced area, old fashioned lights, and a cityscape mural on one
wall, though I’d rather have done without the pictures of scantily-clad women
which adorned some walls. The audience
included many young people, some of whom were surely Jazz Café regulars, and,
of course, the usual jazzers, and Keith’s friend Robert Foster went round with
a collection bucket to get money for the co-op.
I had difficulty in hearing Lindsay’s band because the audience were quite noisy, but they, the band, looked as if they were doing fine, and I sadly
missed most of the rest of the evening – the Metro rules again!
Watch out for
the gig on Saturday April 13 at Newcastle Arts Centre, when you can see Mo
Scott and Paul Edis; Hannabiell and Midnight Blue; The Strictly Smokin' Big
Band; plus swing dancing and poetry. From 7.30pm till 1am. Too good to miss – should I order my taxi
now?
