Bebop Spoken There

Paul Edis: "One of the regulars at The Gala today called me a 'turncoat' and another a 'deserter' - that's a very northern way of displaying affection in response to the news that I'm leaving the area. 'They're vicious down there mind you'. " - (Twitter January24, 2020)

DJAZZ: The Durham City Jazz Festival

It’s back, June 1st, 2nd and 3rd, Durham City’s new jazz festival returns for a second year! Last year’s inaugural DJazz long-weekend festival made an instant impact and the good news is the event will once again take place in many of Durham’s finest, and quirkiest, venues beginning on Friday 1 June, running through ’til late Sunday 3 June. The prospect of a ‘flaming June’ feast of jazz whets the appetite as the current cold snap appears to be coming to an end.

Confirmed acts so far include Robocobra Quartet (they’ve already played Durham’s Empty Shop and Hoochie Coochie in Newcastle), Sloth Racket (a familiar sound on Tyneside), the Zoë Gilby Duo (making a quick return to Durham following last month’s fine Empty Shop debut), Shatner’s Bassoon (coming soon to Newcastle’s Jazz Café), the all-female Leeds-based J Frisco, and the similarly all-female Break Out Brass Band (coming soon to Newcastle’s Jazz Co-op).


DJazz: The Durham City Jazz Festival is a collaboration between At the Root, Empty Shop and Durham University Jazz Society. Early bird tickets are available now, visit www.emptyshop.org.
