We had a tremendous joint concert last night with the recently formed Tyne Valley Youth Big Band before our Easter break.

Read a great review of the gig here. Bebop Spoken Here

The popularity of the event emphasises how Hexham is becoming a centre for Big Band Jazz under the enthusiastic leadership of our MD Dave Hignett.  The junior and Youth Bands will hopefully flourish and ensure that Big Band Music goes from strength to strength in the Tyne Valley.

There are still a few places available in certain sections of the Junior and Youth Bands so if there are any young musicians who wish join please contact Dave for details.

Following the now traditional end of term presentation of Scottish Wine to our MD the TVBB quickly decamped for a fine curry at the newly refurbished Diwan e Am. Several of the more foolhardy members of the band tackled the fearsome Rajastani Gosth hot enough to stop even Mr Hignett in his tracks!
