PS: I read somewhere recently that, although the Gala's capacity is 120, they only provide seating for 100. My correspondent (I'm not sure who it was as I've lost the original message) suggested that, as the lunchtime sessions are invariably sold out, it would make financial sense for the theatre to buy another 20 chairs. Sounds a good idea to me!

Bebop Spoken There
Ludovic Beier (Django Festival Allstars): ''Manouche means 'free man,' and gypsies have been travelers since they migrated west from India to Europe.'' (DownBeat March, 2026)
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

Emma Fisk/James Birkett Duo @ Gala Theatre, Durham - April 20. A 3000 word review!
At BSH we are fortunate in, not only having writers and reviewers with perception and insight, but also some ace photographers such as Ken Drew, Mike Tilley and Malcolm Sinclair. The latter snapper is responsible for these excellent shots of the Emma Fisk/James Birkett concert held yesterday at the Gala Theatre, Durham. Although the concert was sold out, no one has yet provided any words so, working on the premise that a picture paints a 1000 words, here are 3000 of them.
