Bebop Spoken There

Peter Woodford: "I noticed when I went to hear some jazz in a little pub on the outskirts of London the people were really listening. I'm used to guys in bars only interested in making out with their girl friends. Here the idea seems to be to take a girl, enjoy the music, and make out later." - (Crescendo September 1972).

NCRO Update

Tickets are selling well for our annual concert this Saturday, 6 February at the Caedmon Hall in Gateshead with our guests, ragtime and stride piano maestro Keith Nichols and Nick Ward on drums, also featuring the lovely Caroline on vocals.
For various technical reasons, tickets (£15) aren't available this time through the venue's box office, but can still be reserved in advance from Dave Kerr on  0191 281 4011
or at ragtimedavekerr@aol.com.  Advanced sales permitting, tickets will also be available on the door, which opens at 7 and the show starts at 7.30 pm.
For those who haven't been before, the Caedmon Hall is situated within the Central Library on Prince Consort Road, Gateshead NE8 4LN.  It's an intimate venue with excellent acoustics, bar facilities, disabled access and free parking.
We hope you can join us for another entertaining evening of ragtime, hot dance music and early swing, all tenuously tied together by the inimitable Steve Andrews!
