Earlier this year, the New Century Ragtime Orchestra
recorded their second CD Singin’ in the Bathtub which is available on the Lake Records
The venue is the upstairs lounge of the Millstone pub, Haddricks Mill Road, South
Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne NE3 1QL. The Millstone is a comfortable
real ale pub with a large car park, and it’s also only a few minutes’ walk from
South Gosforth metro station or via the 55 bus
from Haymarket which drops you off at the door.
Tickets aren’t available in advance so it’s first come,
first served - the lounge accommodates around sixty people, so if you can
make it get there well in advance of the 7.30pm start.
If you can’t attend this concert but would still like a
copy of the CD, email Dave Kerr at ragtimedavekerr@aol.com and
he’ll arrange to send one out by post (£10 + £2 postage).
Also, advance notice of the annual concert at Gateshead’s
Caedmon Hall with regular guests Keith
Nichols on piano and Nick
Ward on vintage percussion –
this will be on Saturday, February
7, 2015, and tickets will be available in the usual manner, via Dave Kerr
or Gateshead Council’s own box office.
The New Century Ragtime Orchestra
This twelve-piece
orchestra plays music from the dawn of Ragtime in the 1890’s through to the
early Swing Era of the 1930’s. Lovingly recreated from the original sheet music
and painstakingly scored for full ensemble. NCRO perform not only ragtime
composers such as Scott Joplin but also the classic jazz and hot dance music of
the 1920’s, and the early swing of Duke Ellington.
