Our next guest, 15 January: Jez Lowe

Happy New Year to you all as it seems ages since our successful Christmas Party, but we’re back in action for January. Membership payments are due: you either pay £10 for membership for the full year, with free admission on singers’ nights, and a discount of £2 each 2025 guest night. Non-members pay £3 on singers’ nights.

JEZ LOWE is the first guest for this year on Wednesday 15 January.

Jez is a regular guest as he and his agent agreed a January date for us in both 2020 and 2023. Born and still living in the County Durham coalfield, his songs trace the life of the pit communities from ‘Back in Durham Gaol’ through ‘Black Diamonds’ and ‘Greek Lightning’ to ‘Talk to Me Dirty in Geordie’. He has also contributed songs to most BBC Radio Ballads, been the youngest Pitman Poet, and has written 4 novels, some of which we expect he will bring to the Club, along with his latest cd ‘Snow Dancing’.    

£10 for members, while non-members pay £12. You can pay using our card machine, so cash is only needed for the raffle. Doors open at 7.45 pm for an 8.15 start, and we finish by 11pm.

We have a wide variety of guests booked for the rest of 2025:  
Wednesday 12 February – Holly Clarke – young Cumbrian rising star
Wednesday 12 March – Steve Hicks & Lynn Goulbourne – excellent ragtime guitarist and singer-songwriter
Wednesday 9 April – Brian Peters – multi-instrumental expert on traditional songs
More coming soon.

We look forward to seeing you upstairs at the Gladstone.
