Sadly, a touch of manflu kept me away from the Strictly Smokin' Big Band's Xmas bash at Hoochie Coochie on Tuesday. Russell, who'd been at the afternoon Glenn Miller/Ray McVay gig at Sage Gateshead, chartered a light aircraft to ferry him across the River Tyne to Pilgrim St but, alas, never arrived. It was thought that history had repeated itself but no, Russell was spotted safe and sound the following day in the North Shields/Cullercoats area.
So, as any SSBB gig is of mega interest, and, by all accounts, this was a cracking session, we'd like to ask anyone who was there - and there were a couple of hundred, I'm told, - to send us a few words and a photo so that the occasion can be saved for posterity.

It was phenomenal -- FEENOMINAL-- They played mostly big band numbers which pleased the dancers ( and there were lots of them) inc. Ms P and Ms M
The 'Jazz Police' was a classic.
The sound was the best ever due to the young guy on the sound system-- no ear plugs needed. Vocals and musicians were superb.
