Rochdale Jazz Club - The Hallam/Roberts Quintet
Jazz on a Sunday at the Newtown National Club was a first for me , I have never set foot in the club before even though I live only a short distance from the venue. It is a very friendly and welcoming club and Jazz is the name of the game every other Sunday night from 8pm. On the evening I visited them the live band was " The Hallam/Roberts Quintet" which did three forty minute sets and gave wonderful renditions of jazz standards with a sound that showed excellent levels of musicianship. They entertained and enthralled the jazz fans at the club all evening. I took photos and tried to capture the flavour of the evening with both colour and black and white images. They also had a presentation for the band who won the clubs " Band of the year award" . All in all a hugely enjoyable evening of jazz music which I for one thoroughly enjoyed and judging by the applause at the end of the evening so did the rest of the music lovers. I hope you like the photos and I can highly recommend a visit to the club. I will be visiting again for sure, a big thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome and I hope I didn't get in the way to much taking the photos.
