Migrating Birds

A little dicky bird, or to be more precise, clarinettist Mike Bird of the Wakefield Family Bird, tells me that he will be dropping by The Porthole on Tuesday (that's today) and Rosie's on Thursday (which is the day after tomorrow). Not only will he have his trusty stick of liquorice with him but also his alto-playing missus and number one son and number two son blowing trumpet and cornet respectively.
Sounds like a real family fun day.
Looking forward.
Lance.

About this blog - contact details.
Bebop Spoken Here -- Here, being the north-east of England -- centred in the blues heartland of Newcastle and reaching down to the Tees Delta and looking upwards to the Land of the Kilt.
Not a very original title, I know; not even an accurate one as my taste, whilst centred around the music of Bird and Diz, extends in many directions and I listen to everything from King Oliver to Chick Corea and beyond. Not forgetting the Great American Songbook the contents of which has provided the inspiration for much great jazz and quality popular singing for round about a century.
The idea of this blog is for you to share your thoughts and pass on your comments on discs, gigs, jazz - music in general. If you've been to a gig/concert or heard a CD that knocked you sideways please share your views with us. Tell us about your favourites, your memories, your dislikes.
