Don't forget your bucket and spade!

One of our more southerly northern scribes, Ron Hampton, drew my attention to a couple of Sunday sessions at the seaside tomorrow:

Sunday 27th. May:  Brian Dales is playing at Saltburn House, Marine Parade, Saltburn between 4pm and 7pm free event.

Sunday 27th. May: Seaview Playboys (Gus Smith Keith Wilson and Paul Dickerson) play a mix of western swing, jazz, blues, etc. along with guest acts at The Cleveland, Coatham High St., Redcar start about 8pm. free.
Ron points out that the jazz content may be limited but the entertainment content won't!

About this blog - contact details.

Bebop Spoken Here -- Here, being the north-east of England -- centred in the blues heartland of Newcastle and reaching down to the Tees Delta and looking upwards to the Land of the Kilt.
Not a very original title, I know; not even an accurate one as my taste, whilst centred around the music of Bird and Diz, extends in many directions and I listen to everything from King Oliver to Chick Corea and beyond. Not forgetting the Great American Songbook the contents of which has provided the inspiration for much great jazz and quality popular singing for round about a century.
The idea of this blog is for you to share your thoughts and pass on your comments on discs, gigs, jazz - music in general. If you've been to a gig/concert or heard a CD that knocked you sideways please share your views with us. Tell us about your favourites, your memories, your dislikes.
