This review is the best best posting on BSH in a long time. As for 'political neutrality' there is no such thing when it comes to the ongoing crisis in France and beyond. Steve Rubie, the 606, the musicians...I salute you! The work of Ian Shaw is tremendous. Xenophobes are on our streets. Fascists were on the march in Newcastle last weekend. They were challenged by those of us who despise their miserable utterances. A gig on Tyneside to raise political consciousness let alone funds seems like a grand idea.
Thanks JC for an excellent review and the encouraging news that jazz musicians are once again standing up for what's right. Jazz.Coop would be very willing to help with a Tyneside event.
