Aurora Strings are the most experienced, in demand professional string quartet in the North East of England, consisting of four highly trained and dedicated musicians.
Shipcote & Friends have been around a decade, or two playing their very own lilting geordie creole/country swing music.
They came together over the last year to record an full album of Shipcote & Friends self-penned songs, that will be launched at this show.
Bridie Jackson is special guest & will also open the show with Brick (Bridie & Nick Pierce)
Praise for their only live show in March 24
“Shipcote with Strings worked like a dream, Shippy’s gentle swinging songs were augmented but not overpowered by the backing Aurora Quartet that gave the whole thing a laidback Hot Club Of Paris feel. I suppose it’s the nature of the beast that something this special needs to be a one-off, but I really would love a chance to enjoy it again.” NARC Magazine
“The gig was one of the best I’ve been to in years” Alan Harrison (Rockin Magpie) “I don’t think I’ve enjoyed a gig as much in years” Chet (music aficionado )
