Jam Session @ The Bridge
Alan Law (pno); Jonathan Marriott (dms); Katie Trigger (bs); + Fiona Findon, Ann Alexander, Julija Jacenaite Jolie (vcl); Paul Gowland (ten); Sarah Travena (sop); Chris Finch (pno); Simon Stephenson, Dan Stanley (gtr); Graham Archer (bs) - apologies if I've missed anyone!)
...
Julija kicked ass! The blonde bombshell's Angel Eyes was absolutely amazing and with the band rocking their sox off it lifted the game to an astronomical level. Alright, OK, You Win and There Will Never be Another You brought the evening to a close and what an evening it had been. Special mention to the rhythm section and to Gowland and Travena who simply played as good as anyone I've ever heard in The Bridge at 9:55 pm on a Sunday night in July this year - or in any other month of any other year! A JJJ gig would be good.for next seasonn.

Super Sunday @ The Jazz Café
Sarah Travena (sop); Pete Gilligan (pno); Ray Truskett (bs); Eric Stutt (dms).
Alan Law (pno/alt); Lindsay Hannon (vcl); Julija Jacenaite (vcl).
...
Alan moved over to piano and a new star appeared in The Galaxy - Julija Jacenaite. A Lithuanian lady, Julija really made her mark. Don't ask me what the song was - maybe it was called For You - if it was it was for me for you and for everyone who heard it. It was blues it was ballad it was rock with a Tina Turner like intensity. As earthy as anything I've heard in the last 100 years - let's hope she sticks around Newcastle.
