David Gosling sent me the following info re a new venue Way Out West:
The Bessie Boyd, a new venue in Carlisle, is to launch its first jazz
performance on Thursday April 16th.
The Bessie Boyd
is rapidly establishing itself as a great venue for live music and its first
jazz show will feature the north east piano and trumpet duo of Paul Edis &
Graham Hardy.
Jazz on a
Thursday night is nothing new for Carlisle, as the Carlisle Jazz Club is held
at Carlisle’s Rugby Club every Thursday night, but to have two jazz gigs taking
place at the same time is a rarity.
Organiser David
Gosling, who has a history of staging jazz performances in unusual places, Andy
Sheppard and Pee Wee Ellis in Lanercost Priory and Chicago’s Greg Spero Quartet
at the Upfront Theatre for example, feels that the unique atmosphere of The
Bessie Boyd is perfect for live music and in particular jazz.
Having two jazz
performances in the city does not concern him either as, though far from ideal,
the music is likely to appeal two different audiences with the jazz club gig
featuring mostly traditional and New Orleans jazz whilst Edis and Hardy’s will
serve up a much more contemporary sound.
Paul Edis,
described as a
'brilliant young pianist' (Alyn Shipton, The Guardian) teams up with Graham
Hardy a talented and versatile Trumpeter, composer and arranger to perform
music by Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis alongside their own original
material.
Paul Edis & Graham
Hardy
Thursday April 16th, 8.00pm The Bessie Boyd, 35
Warwick Road, Carlisle
£5.00 on the door
Fully Licensed
