Preview: Hexham Jazz Festival (Sunday 15, day 3/3)

Sunday 15 May, day three of the 2022 Hexham Jazz Festival. At half past seven in Hexham Abbey(see the stained glass windows!) you'll be able to hear London-resident, one time Hexham lad, guitarist James Kitchman performing in a duo with pianist Bruno Heinen. It wasn't too long ago that Heinen played a gig at Gosforth Civic Theatre in Newcastle. His return to the region will see the London-based musicians performing a concert of original music. To round off what is certain to be a successful weekend, the Abbie Finn Trio (Abbie Finn, Harry Keeble, Paul Grainger) will be playing numbers from the trio's Northern Perspective album and from a forthcoming second recording. The concert begins at nine o'clock, tickets £12.50. from www.queenshall.co.uk. Russell
