Bebop Spoken There

Veronica Swift: "I don't want to call myself a jazz singer anymore. I'm a singer and a storyteller.'" - (JazzTimes, December 2021)

Equinox for the Quakerhouse

Four Leeds College of Music students head up the road to Darlington to play a gig at Darlington Jazz Club on Sunday (February 14). Drummer Abbie Finn is from around these parts and will surely show her band mates the lay of the land. The Quakerhouse, tucked away in Mechanics’ Yard, is as good a place as any to start. A proper pub, the Camra awards adorning the walls are testament to its popularity and good beer. There must be a beer drinker in the band, they can’t all be new breed student tee-totallers!
 Abbie, a one-time member of the County Durham Youth Big Band, will be joined by Jake Rider (alto sax), Sam Lowther (guitar) and bassist Manraj Lall. The quartet will receive a warm reception in the upstairs room at the Quakerhouse. If Abbie’s Equinox band mates have half her talent Sunday evening in Darlington has all the makings of a memorable gig. Doors at 5:30pm, first set 6:00pm. Arrive early, it will be a full house.
