Indigo Jazz Voices began life as Blue Jazz Voices, at what was then Sage Gateshead, under the tutelage of Lindsay Hannon. With the move to the Globe and a change of colour they began what was to become an ongoing ten year, bi-monthly, residency.
Last night the five singers strutted their stuff before an enthusiastic crowd with a varied choice of songs.

Each singer
had their own individual and distinctive voice making it impossible, and
unfair, to single out one above the rest - they weren't contestants
and one person's weakness is another person's strength and, of course, vice
versa.
It was a show of two sets comprising of two songs per singer per set.
After an opening number by the band, augmented for the occasion by Pete Tanton and Harry Keeble on trumpet and tenor respectively - the appropriately named I Hear a Rhapsody - we heard, over the two sets, the following:
David Edgar: Fly me to the Moon; Time After Time; Beyond the Sea; Moon Dance (w. Paul Close guitar).
Jenny Lingham: Love me or Leave me; Brand New Day (w. Paul Close guitar); Please Don't Let me be Misunderstood; Willow Weep For me.
Jen Errington: Day in, Day Out; I Can't Get Started; On a Clear Day; We'll be Together Again.
Carrie McCullock: L.O.V.E; Sway; You do Something to me; Sing, Sing, Sing.
Paul Close: Autumn Leaves; Rambling on my Mind; I Hear You Knockin'; Evenin'.
It was an enjoyable session with a great atmosphere. Ann Alex (R.I.P.) would have loved it. Lance

Ann was a member of IJV for a number of years, and you're right Lance, she would loved last night.
