Thanks so much to everyone who has contributed to our Sponsume campaign so far for the Wild Flower Sextet – we’re up to £216 already! A full list of names will follow soon but for now check out our progress or get involved by following the link at http://www.sponsume.com/project/wild-flower-sextet-album or clicking in the box on the right.

If you are in Newcastle do come along to a fundraiser I’m involved with tomorrow for Jazz North East. I’m playing first in a quartet with Lloyd Wright (guitar), Mick Shoulder (bass) and Adam Sinclair (drums) at The Bridge from 2pm, then in a quintet with Simon Spillet (sax), Paul Edis (piano) and again Mick and Adam on bass and drums at The Jazz Cafe at 4pm. There are lots of great bands on all day, so it’ll be well worth a visit.
