The Globe is the Jazz Co-op's community-owned, multi-genre music venue in Newcastle, and its live music programme has extended throughout 2020 lockdowns thanks to innovative live streams, three days a week, spanning folk, Americana, rock, blues, jazz and classical music. The Sunday night Jazz sessions have been a particular success, and the December line up is the strongest yet, featuring a string of award winning, up and coming, jazz musicians from across the UK.
Fergus
McCreadie, whose
latest award is Best Instrumentalist at The Scottish Jazz awards 2020, brings
his acclaimed trio to The Globe on December 6,
playing music from their eagerly awaited second album Cairn, due for release in January 2021
on Edition records.
This is followed on Sunday 13 by the
Francis Tulip Quintet (pictured). A recent graduate of the Royal Birmingham
Conservatoire jazz course, and recipient of the college jazz performance prize,
Francis brings a stellar line up of Birmingham and London based musicians, in
particular saxophonist Xhosa Cole,
winner of Jazz FM 2020 Breakthrough Act of the Year and BBC Young Jazz Musician
of The Year 2018.
And finally, on December
20, the north east based singer Zoë
Gilby, Parliamentary Jazz Vocalist
of the Year 2019, brings her widely
travelled quartet, a fitting finale
to The Globe’s year of top quality gigs. No wonder jazz blogger ‘Bebop Spoken Here’
said “Sunday Night @ The Globe, whether on line, or on chair, is fast becoming
a byline for Jazz in Newcastle and, maybe tomorrow, the world!” We’ll be back in January with more great
gigs –live and live streamed - from The Globe.
