Today BSH heard Harry Toulson playing some scintillating bop alto sax on the streets of Newcastle. Harry, originally from County Durham, has been studying at Chetham's School of Music in Manchester and this morning, busking on Northumberland Street, flew, Bird-like, through the changes before taking it down with an assured reading of My Funny Valentine. An uplifting start to the week!
