You MUST see this: Put it on your bucket list for next year

It isn’t jazz as such,
but it’s wonderful, magical music! A semi-circle of musical instruments, all
made of glass, glasses of water of all sizes, large jars, glass tubes and tubs,
a xylophone and glass blocks on a table.
To be tapped with drumsticks, fingers circled round water glasses to
produce a rich ringing tone, or tubs thumped with the hands, to get a bass
sound. A 15 minute performance of delight.
The first item was of interwoven tones, then came a piece with an
amusing spoken commentary about a bus journey to the Metrocentre.
There was an evocative piece about being a child, and more music to round off the session. I couldn’t stay for the other performances but besides the orchestra there was also an item of drama, singing by the choir, and food, 3 shows and food within an hour.

I hope there’s a chance
for people who haven’t seen this to do so next year. The Lawnmowers is next to Gateshead Old
Town Hall
