For all we know there may have been others! The on stage permutations were so many and so varied I stopped keeping score. Suffice to see they all did their own thing and no one fell flat on their er, face.
They came down from Edinburgh, up from Yorkshire, across from Cullercoats - truly an international gathering.
Numbers played included Blue Bossa and I Wish I Knew How it Felt to be Free by the trio. 'S Wonderful (Jeremy); Black Coffee, Get Happy, At Last (Jan); Stella by Starlight, Tenor Madness, Body and Soul (Nick); That Old Feeling, Autumn Leaves (Patrick); It Don't Mean a Thing, Misty (Kit); Mr PC (Pope, Sams) and more - much more.
Special mention of Esther (pictured above) who, after a hesitant start, grew in confidence and even took on the power players on All Blues - on clarinet!
The three guitarists all impressed as did John Pope (natch!) and Steve, this week playing upright bass as opposed to his usual fretless electric bass. I could go on and on but instead I'll leave it to Nick Gould who followed in the hoofprints of Robert the Bruce on Facebook - the Bannockburn of today - to add his thoughts - Lance

Good fun! Great to see everyone!
Nick, what a great video from the night on Facebook. Catches the atmosphere well!
Thanks very much Ann! Come along to the Globe on 13th Feb (Sunday) if you are not busy. I am delighted to be playing there with JazzMain
a very good jam session, great to see so many musicians who came from afar, it has to be said that Nick Gould was superb, I love the way he brings the younger musicians into play, I look forward to feb 13 at the globe where Nicks group JAZZ MAIN will be playing, a great birthday present for me.

Thank you for your kind words Brian. I am really looking forward to being at the Globe on the 13th with JazzMain. We love coming to Newcastle.
Tuesday was good, so great to see young people who have not been subverted by video games
