Ernest

Another very successful night at Ernest in the Ouseburn, a popular night for acoustic musicians who want some quiet, laid-back music.  Tonight we had four female guitarists/singers, three of whom have played for us before (Emily, Issie and Daisy) and Emma, who came along for the first time.  They were joined by two young male musicians from Little Buffalo Men, Tom and Ryan.  The evening was introduced by one of the adults in our group, but then Emily introduced everyone and ran the rest of the evening.  Everyone took it in turns to play a number of songs, then were asked to do an encore each.  There were about 20 people in the audience, everyone had a good time, and we managed to raise some money in our bucket.

The first of our summer holiday, jamming sessions in Jesmond library.  Two musicians turned up, Emily and Issie and played in the Catherine Cookson room for an hour before performing for customers in the library. They played Let it go, Here comes the flood and Wake me up.  The concert was enjoyed by 3 staff members, 3 elderly residents, and two families including 3 adults and 3 young children.  Two of the young children joined in with percussion instruments which we provided.

​We often hire the large function room at the Cricket Club in Jesmond.  During the school summer holidays we were asked if we could provide musicians to perform outside, while the junior cricket training is going on, on Friday nights.  Our first performance was today, with Emily Davidson providing gentle background music.  She performed Two Black Cadillac by Carrie Underwood, When we were Young by Adele, as well as some old favourites such as Take me Home and Take it Easy.  The music was enjoyed by young and old alike.  There were about 20 children involved in the cricket training, another 10 playing around on the seats and about 20 parents.

A great day, warm and sunny, for the food market.  Loads of people out, strolling, eating and listening to Tom and Lucas, two of our young guitarists.  First time that Lucas has played for us.  Lots of their friends sitting and watching, so we hope that some of them will join in next time.  About 100 people passing today.

Ouseburn festival

3/7/2016

A wonderful sunny weekend for the Ouseburn festival.  Sunday afternoon saw 8 music groups perform on a mobile stage, outside Ouseburn farm.  Two of the slots were for City Youth Music performers.  The afternoon started with Daisy, now one of our regular performers. After only having performed for a roomful of people in the past, Daisy was now playing in front of an audience of about 150 people.  She covered some Joni Mitchell numbers, Ed Sheeran and included one of her own compositions.  Her voice is beautiful and she was well received.  She was followed by None of the Above, three young men, who once again gave us some rousing punk numbers.  They got loads of positive feedback and were invited to play again next year.
