Celebrate 20 years of Concerts @ Caedmon by NCRO

Yes, it really is 20 years since we played our first concert at Gateshead's Caedmon Hall, ambitiously titled "From Scott Joplin to Duke Ellington", where we were joined by Birmingham's Nick Ward, one of the finest vintage-style drummers in the country, and the following year by Keith Nichols, master of ragtime and stride piano. Since then we've developed a reputation for both musical authenticity and entertaining presentation from larger-than-life (and getting larger) saxophone star Steve Andrews. Keith and Nick will both be joining us for our anniversary concert on Friday 9th February, along with our very own Caroline on vocals. So if you like ragtime, jazz and hot dance music from the 1920s and 1930s, this is a night not to miss!
Caedmon Hall is part of Gateshead Central Library, Prince Consort Road, Gateshead NE8 4LN. It's an intimate venue with ample free parking, bar facilities and disabled access. Tickets (£15) can be reserved from Dave Kerr by telephone on 0191 281 4011 or by email at: 
ragtimedavekerr@aol.com and will also be available on the door, advance bookings permitting. Doors open at 7 pm and the show starts at 7.30 pm.
We hope you can join us for another vintage night of musical mayhem!
Best wishes
Phil Rutherford
The New Century Ragtime Orchestra
