This is to let you know that we are
celebrating our 25th anniversary at our annual concert at Gosforth Civic Theatre
in Newcastle on Friday
evening, 21st March at 7.30pm.
Our special guest on piano is Martin Litton, an internationally renowned musician, arranger and bandleader, specialising in all the classic styles of jazz from ragtime to
swing.
Also joining us once again will be our good friend Nick Ward on vintage percussion, and of course not forgetting our vivacious chanteuse Caroline!
This will be the second time we have performed at this excellent venue, which is on Gosforth High Street very near Regent Centre metro station, with ample parking nearby at the station (free after 5pm) or the Asda supermarket. The nearest postcode is NE3 3PF. Everything is on the ground floor, and there is a cafe/bar open throughout the concert.
Tickets (£20) can be reserved for collection and payment on the door by contacting bandleader Dave Kerr: on 0191 281 4011 Or by email - ragtimedavekerr@aol.com
Alternatively tickets can be purchased in advance from the theatre by clicking this link: New Century Ragtime Orchestra with Martin Litton | Gosforth Civic Theatre - or buy them on the door (subject to availability).
Doors open at 7pm, and we hope to see you there!

The New Century Ragtime
Orchestra
Now in its 25th year, this 12-piece orchestra performs music from the dawn of Ragtime in the 1890s, through the classic jazz and hot dance music of the 1920s, to the early Swing Era of the 1930s. We have played at many of Britain's best jazz festivals, from Edinburgh and Keswick to Kirkcudbright and Whitley Bay, and have built up a large collection of original jazz orchestrations.
