It's been thin on the ground since I started gigging around 1970! Not for nothing is Sunderland known as the cultural dead centre of the North! So, fellow Mackems, prove me wrong by supporting this venture - who knows, it might be the start of something big......?

Come in Ray Newton for a history of jazz in Sunderland in no more than 3 words.
