This
year's Hexham Abbey Festival of Music and Arts (September 19-22) includes a
late night jazz concert in Queen's Hall Library. Late Night Jazz with Nikki
Iles, Karen Sharp & Friends begins at 9:30pm on Saturday 21st. Pianist
Iles and saxophonist Sharp share similarly impressive pedigrees having worked
with many of the great names of British post-war jazz. Their 'friends' on this
gig will be bassist Andrew Robb and drummer David Ingamells.
Guildhall
graduate Robb (BBC Radio Scotland Young Jazz Musician of the Year 2009) has
worked with a number of established names including Tim Garland and Tommy Smith
and was heard recently in the region with Alan Benzie at the Jazz Co-op,
Newcastle. Fellow Guildhall graduate Ingamells is a 'first call' category
drummer including gigs with Tobie Carpenter, Kate Williams and local hero,
Darlington's Matt Roberts.
Tickets
for the concert (£15) are available from Queen's Hall Arts Centre (tel: 01434
652477) and online at: www.queenshall.co.uk
For those
travelling from/to Tyneside there is a late night train from Hexham departing
at 11:25 arriving Newcastle at five minutes past midnight.
