The
Park Inn in Hartlepool, where Musicians Unlimited hold their open rehearsal
every Sunday 1:00 - 3:00pm, is changing hands and will be closed for
refurbishment for 4-6 weeks. At this point in time, they are not sure whether
the new management will accommodate the band going forward or whether they will
need to find an alternative venue. Whatever happens, the Band will be taking a
forced break for at least 4-6 weeks.
The
last session will be this coming Sunday (Feb. 9). The intention is to make it a
bit of a party as a send-off for landlord, Rick, who has supported the band for
many years now. There is an invitation out to all musicians who have played
with the band in the past – if they turn up, Mick [Donnelly] will try to make
sure they get to play for at least a couple of numbers.
Musicians
Unlimited will be performing at the Great North Big Band Jazz Festival in
Chester-Le-Street – opening the festival on Friday Feb. 28.
