This excellent band played a great gig at Blaydon in April.
Must have been quite a gig as I thought the Clark Tracey band were plenty good!
What a great review !! although I wouldn't go so far to say it was 'substantially better than the Clark Tracey performance earlier this year' - maybe they equalled them in many respects - fine musicians playing tremendously well as One, the overall energy and the impact they had on the audience (and vice-versa). But what a great Gig !!!
Next gig for Alter Ego
8pm Wednesday 7th January @ Ashington Jazz Club
