The Tannery's second Wednesday in the month jam session continues to attract its hardcore supporters - those looking to sit-in and those happy to sit with a pint, listening to the music. A pint of Landlord and a prime seat, the ace house trio for the evening - Joe Steels, Laurence Blackadder and John Hirst - stomped off with Stompin' at the Savoy.
This
being a community pub, some sat on bar stools chatting at the bar (oblivious to
the jazz), some wandered in with their pet pooch, others tucked into gigantic
plates of fish and chips. Bird's Barbados, trumpeter John Weaver
featuring on You'd be So Nice to Come Home to, Johnny Green's Out
of Nowhere, all in a relaxed, supportive environment.
Half an hour or so into this evening's session one of the region's premier guitarists walked in - none other than Jimi Savage. Polka Dots and Moonbeams, Misty, Here's That Rainy Day (at one point Joe Steels doubling up on string bass!), Jimi S eased his way into the jam session staples.
The Carlisle to Newcastle train was a comin' down the line. Time to make a sharp exit, but not before listening to the house trio playing Victor Young's masterpiece, Stella by Starlight. Russell
