Preston Glasgow Lowe 30 April Newcastle Globe

The second half of April is going to be very busy at the Globe in Newcastle and elsewhere.

The world-famous Gateshead International Jazz Festival takes place on 15-17 April. Jazz.Coop will have a stand on the concourse at Sage Gateshead, so if you are there please come and say hello. On Friday 15 April we are hosting the late night festival jam session at the Globe. This was a big success last year. The following week we have gigs at the Globe on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday including jazz vocals, free improvisation, west coast horns and gypsy jazz.

The month ends with two highly recommended gigs (but very different from each other). Tom McConville and David Newey on Thursday 28 April and Preston Glasgow Lowe on 30 April (which is International Jazz Day and the anniversary of Jazz.Coop buying the Globe).
