The Kid From Biddick Hall


South Shields lad, Colin 'Kid' Dawson, jazz trumpet player, long time resident in Germany, has released his latest CD. An album that features a track Sandancer dedicated to his old home town. It is mentioned in tonight's Shields Gazette.
Listen to Swinga-Dilla-Street composed by James P. Johnson and played by the Kid's band - Echoes of  Swing - although I doubt if James P was referring to Ocean Rd!
