Lunchtime Concert In Durham City.
It took place at the Gala Theatre in Durham City, on 11th October and was the second of a series of monthly concerts. It was very well attended. I guess the audience was mainly mature. That could be because of the music being played but I guess at that time of a weekday many others could be working or looking for work, have other commitments.
I suspect most of the audience were retired or able to make it because of working different hours to the traditional 9-5 stereotype or perhaps from a household where one partner is working. Or they could be singles for one reason or another.
It took place in the intimate area called The Studio on the very top of the building.
This time it was the Roly Veitch/Sue Ferris Trio.
Roly Veitch - Guitar
Sue Ferris - Saxophone/Flute
Andy Champion - Bass
The style was quite free form where each person goes off the general melody and does their own thing. It had the feel of a jamming session. After each performer had done their solo piece the audience would do their polite applause but occasionally become confused and find they were a lone clapper
The selection of music played...All of Me, Beautiful Love, There Will Never Be Another You, My Romance, A Day In The Life Of A Fool, Autumn Leaves, In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning and Sandu. The session lasted approx. an hour.
A pleasant way to spend an hour and I'll do again...possibly in November but if I am still ok I have a ticket for December's show.
