Jazz Duo @ Hallbankgate Tonight.

Overhearing a conversation in a South Shields pub this lunchtime I learned of a gig  this evening at the Lucy Thompson Memorial Hall at Hallbankgate which is over Brampton way.
It features Saxist Ian Miller and pianist Dominiic Spencer who'll be blowing a lot of jazz classics and gasbook standards - no doubt including Rogers and Hart's immortal tribute to this day even though it gets played and sung every other day except Xmas Day - Irving Berlin cornered the market on that one!"
So, with apologies for the late announcement, - I had to have time to sober up - the details are: doors 7.30pm, concert 8pm. £8/£5 (children). Further info from 01697 746856 or follow link..

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.

Submissions for review

Whilst we appreciate the many emails, texts, messages and other communications we receive requesting album/gig reviews on BSH, regrettably, we are unable to reply to all of them other than those we are able to answer with a positive response.
Similarly, CDs received by post will only be considered if accompanied by sufficient background material.
Finally, bear in mind that this is a jazz-based site when submitting your album.
