Needless to say, The Newcastle Jazz Coop are proud to be the only north east organisation to be participating and, as such, the only jazz venue in the area to be publicly recognising this day.
Tonight, at the Jazz Coop's home - the Globe Jazz Bar, 11 Railway St., Newcastle NE4 7AD the Jazz Coop show their support of the occasion by presenting the CUSTOMS HOUSE BIG BAND with top vocalist RUTH LAMBERT in the downstairs bar. Doors open at 7.15pm - admission £7.50.
Later, upstairs, there's a jam session starting circa 9.30pm with all musicians invited and it's free.
There's also a disco downstairs after the CHBB set is finished.
By coincidence, tonight is also the first anniversary of the Jazz Coop buying The Globe - setting up the UK's first music venue co-op - so there is plenty to celebrate!
