Moran's frontline partners - Jim
McBriarty and Neville Hartley - have been round the block a couple of times and
won't be fazed by new-look charts. If anything they'll be energised by the
challenge! McBriarty's alto sax and clarinet playing is in demand right across
the north east jazz scene and trombonist Hartley's services are every bit as
much sought after as at anytime during a long, distinguished career.
Tomorrow (Sunday) sees something a
little different at the Black Bull. Blaydon Jazz Club presents seven piece
outfit Classic Swing in an evening of swing era to GASbook material. Tommy
Moran has been busy writing arrangements for the band and fans will be keen to
hear what the veteran tenor saxophonist has come up with. Come to think of it,
Moran's bandmates will be interested to know what awaits them!
Classic Swing's engine room is
guaranteed to be firing on all cylinders - Jeremy McMurray will be hotfooting
it up the A19 from an early evening engagement in time for an eight o'clock
start, all-action drummer Tommy Graham will attemp to rattle a few beer glasses
and bassist Alan Rudd will, as always, be holding it altogether. And then there
is vocalist Olive Rudd. Band singer Olive is a popular figure on the scene and
it is to be hoped she will get her fair share of the action.
Classic Swing at the Black Bull is an
eight o'clock start (that's half an hour later than usual), £7 payable on the
door.
