At short notice Percy Purseglove and Liam Noble have stepped into the breach to play a set in the Northern Rock Foundation Hall at the Gateshead International Jazz Festival. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Airelle Besson Duo will not now be appearing. The duo of trumpeter/bassist Percy Purseglove and pianist Liam Noble will team up to play a set in a Europe Makes Music double bill with Malija on Sunday afternoon at 2:30pm.
Purseglove is in town to play his part in Phil Meadows’ Lifecycles concert on Saturday in Hall One with the Royal Northern Sinfonia and Jambone. Staying on for this duo concert is an unexpected bonus for Purseglove and the audience. Pianist Liam Noble is similarly involved with Lifecycles and by chance is one-third of Malija, the other half of Sunday’s double bill. Malija – Noble, Mark Lockheart (reeds) and Jasper Høiby (double bass) – recently released the acclaimed CD The Day I Had Everything on Edition Records.
Tickets are available from Sage Gateshead’s ticket office. Telephone: 0191 443 4661.
