It's Christmas time with the city centre's prime Monument location taken over for the duration by a multitude of street traders elbowing one of Newcastle's long established street bands onto Nelson Street. Across the way in Central Arcade a plethora of saxophonists blew in unison as shoppers and tourists alike grabbed a photo opportunity.
Paul Miskin's Soznak did what the band usually does, stopping shoppers in their tracks with Jude Murphy on bass and vocals and the ubiquitous David Gray, trombone (minus the lederhosen - see LL's revview of King Bee), sexing up Hot Chocolate's You Sexy Thing. Meanwhile, a dozen or more reeds, collectively known as Sax on the Tyne, made full use of the acoustics in Central Arcade outside JG Windows as they tackled familiar numbers including the Jackson 5's Rockin' Robin. All together now...Rockin' Robin, rock, rock...
