Songwriter
Jez Lowe returns to his North East roots in a special seasonal presentation that harks
back to the old Tyneside radio shows of the 1950's, entitled Geordie's Winter Almanac
Radio Roadshow. Gather round the winter firesides of the cottages and terraces in the
shadow of the dockyard cranes and the pit-wheels, for an evening of songs, tunes,
recitations and comedy, with a backdrop of archive film and photographs. Jez, hailed for
his contributions to the recent SONY Award-Winning BBC Radio Ballads, and who's songs have
been covered by the likes of Fairport Convention, The Dubliners and hundreds more, will be
joined by his long-time band The Bad Pennies, with Kate Bramley (vocals/ violin), Andy May
(Northumbrian Pipes) and David De La Haye (bass), plus special guests Tyneside balladeer
Benny Graham and young multi-instrumentalist Andrew Cadie for a night of homespun
revellry, Geordie Style.

We're thrilled to confirm
that our December show 'Geordie's Winter Almanac' will be kindly supported by the Northern
Rock Foundation. They have been keen supporters of artistic projects across the North-east
for many years, and in 2007 contributed to our successful 'A Song for Geordie' Tour. We're
so excited they've decided to support the "Christmas sequel" to that project and
offer our sincere thanks to the organisation.
