There's a lot going on on Sunday - Blaydon, Hartlepool, Coxlodge, Los Angelos, New York, Kowloon and elsewhere.
However, for those without vagabond shoes or whose passport or bus pass has ran out, then Sage Gateshead looks good. In fact, if you're in LA, New York or Kowloon and your passport is in order then you still have time to make it to Sage Gateshead for Claire Martin's Let it Snow concert.
Claire is one of those singers capable of stamping her magical touch on whatever the material. I've heard her with Ian Shaw; in a terrific triumvirate with Barbra Jungr and Mari Wilson; with Sir Richard Rodney Bennett; at various jazz festivals and, on Sunday, I'll hear her with the Royal Northern Sinfonia in a mix of Christmas Classics and Superb Standards.
Dismiss the notion that you've 'heard it all before' - believe you me, you ain't heard nothin' yet!
Trust me that Claire will be at the top of her game.
Why?
Performing on the concourse in a pre-concert session [6:30pm] are local duo Hand to Mouth - aka Bradley Johnston and Lindsay Hannon.
Lindsay will be setting a benchmark for Claire and six string Bradley, likewise, for the Sinfonia!
This is one concert I can't miss. I could even listen to Claire Martin singing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer although I won't be brokenhearted if she doesn't..
Lance.
