Bessie & Billie Print Icons

The third International Print Biennale is on now at twenty five venues throughout the north east of England. The Hatton Gallery, located in Newcastle University’s Fine Art building, hosts the International Print Awards, the centerpiece of the Biennale. Over seven hundred artists submitted work and a selection of the best is on show alongside the work of several invited artists. Bob and Roberta Smith (aka Patrick Brill) exhibit a 2011 portfolio Feminist Icons. A series of ten lithographs, two of the iconic figures are Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday. The exhibition ends on Saturday 9 August.

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.
