Bebop Spoken There

Kurt Elling: ''There's something to learn from every musician you play with''. (DownBeat, December 2024).

The Things They Say!

This is a good opportunity to say thanks to BSH for their support of the jazz scene in the North East (and beyond) - it's no exaggeration to say that if it wasn't for them many, many fine musicians, bands and projects across a huge cross section of jazz wouldn't be getting reviewed at all, because we're in the "desolate"(!) North. (M & SSBB on F/book 23/12/24)

Reviewers wanted

Whilst BSH attempts to cover as many gigs, festivals and albums as possible, to make the site even more comprehensive we need more 'boots on the ground' to cover the albums seeking review - a large percentage of which never get heard - report on gigs or just to air your views on anything jazz related. Interested? then please get in touch. Contact details are on the blog. Look forward to hearing from you. Lance

Taking place in and around Sage Gateshead from 22nd to 24th July, SummerTyne Americana Festival is a feel-good celebration of American roots music and brings together some of the finest and most exciting performers from both sides of the Atlantic. The weekend long party is jam packed full of the best country, folk, bluegrass, rockabilly, blues, soul and roots music.
The line-up also includes highly influential singer-songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter, country duos Kelly Willis & Bruce Robison plus Brennen Leigh & Noel Mckay, new folk pioneers The Mike & Ruthy Band plus Gill Landry, bluegrass from Ron Block and a simmering blues stew from Lucky Peterson. There’s even a not to be missed bluegrass reworking of rock opera Tommy from The HillBenders.
The SummerTyne River Cruises return for 2016, with live music from Gill Landry and Miss Mary & The Mr Rights on Saturday 23rd July and Dean Owens and Chester And The Fog on Sunday 24th July. 
Of course the incredibly popular Jumpin’ Hot Outdoor Stage will be back too with 3 days of free music to enjoy on the banks of the Tyne.  Entertaining the crowds outside will be Eve Selis & Band, Mary Jean Lewis & Her Lowmen, Urban Pioneers, Amanda Rheaume Trio, Little Victor, Hymn for Her, 10 String Symphony, Danielle Howle, Peter Bruntnell Band, Yola Carter & Band, Luke & Mel, Shipcote & Friends, Tony Bengtsson, Chloe Chadwick, Hokum Hotshots, Sons of Bido Lito, Kari MacLeod & The Fugitives and Teresa Watson’s Blues Band.
With street food, a film programme, exhibitions, merchandise from our SummerTyne traders, a chance to join our SummerTyne Soul Choir and many more acts still to be announced, we defy you not to find something to blow you away, get your feet tapping and put a huge smile on your face.  It’s SummerTyne time!
