It's GREAT NORTH RUN time.

The 30th Great North Run is upon us this Sunday (Sept 19). 52,000 runners are set to cover the 13.1 miles many of whom choose to do it in fancy dress.
With at least 15 bands playing en route (including the Chilli Road Band) it is not surprising that our Cartoonist in Residence, Bill Shaw, found inspiration for this whimsical look at Sunday's event.

  1. SUPERB. Great artistic talent and wit. I hope Bills' work is being appreciated widely. Should have been featured in the BBC coverage!

    Printing a copy for my study wall.

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.
