Following on from the success of our Corbridge Debut we were excited to be invited to  the Haydon Bridge Beer Festival held in July 2012.  It seemed that a natural synergy was developing between Tyne Valley Big Band music and Beer Festivals.

This smaller venue proved a tight squeeze but we had a great night playing to an enthusiastic audience.  We were followed by some fire eating young ladies on stilts.

The heady aroma of kerosene, mud and real ale, all very exciting.
