Reviewers wanted

Whilst BSH attempts to cover as many gigs, festivals and albums as possible, to make the site even more comprehensive we need more 'boots on the ground' to cover the albums seeking review - a large percentage of which never get heard - report on gigs or just to air your views on anything jazz related. Interested? then please get in touch. Contact details are on the blog. Look forward to hearing from you. Lance

Preview: The Gil Scott-Heron Songbook is coming to Gosforth Civic Theatre (Thursday Nov. 7)!!!

At Gosforth Civic Theatre tomorrow (Thurs. 7) it's the last date of the Aki Remally-Fraser Urquhart tour celebrating the music of Gil Scott-Heron.

 Fixtures on the Scottish jazz scene, Remally (guitar, vocals) and Urquhart (piano) have been touring their Gil Scott-Heron project as a quartet with the ace rhythm section of bassist Tom Wilkinson and drummer Max Popp. Their focus is on the life and music of poet, composer, jazz musician and pioneering rapper, Gil Scott-Heron. 

Some of us were at Riverside circa 1990 when the legendary American appeared at the 'old place' on Melbourne Street. For those of us who weren't, Thursday evening at Gosforth Civic Theatre is the closest we'll get to experiencing the life and times of Gil Scott-Heron. Book now at: www.gosforthcivictheatre.co.uk.
