Andrea (above) performs numerous voice and piano engagements throughout the North East. We will be adding more details of dates and venues in the coming Months.
Andrea's duo perform regularly at The Ivy in Ryton. After a successful debut at the restaurant in summer 2009, Andrea is expecting to perform there once a month. For more details call 0191 4136444 or visit www.theivyryton.co.uk.
John, Richard and Dave from Laughing Jacks are currently playing public performances as "The John Black Band". This line up will feature blues and rock material. More details on gigs and repertoire are available on the band's new website at www.johnblackband.co.uk
Andrea has recently been booked to perform at this fantastic restaurant on
Monday 1st February. Over the past year or so The Cherry Tree has
established a superb programme of live music, featuring some of the very
best musicians in the North East. Coupled with an extensive and beautifully
presented menu the venue offers a unique and memorable dining
experience.
Andrea will be singing with a piano trio line up. The
performance will be divided into two sets, with the first starting at approximately 7.30pm.

Laughing Jacks very rarely play public access gigs. It's difficult to recreate the atmosphere and presentation that the band works with at wedding bookings. Clients will occassionally ask if we can arrange for them to see the band in action at other people's weddings. In most cases this is very difficult to organise and most couples are understandably reluctant to have strangers visit their event.
In the meantime, there are regular opportunties to see the members of Laughing Jacks live in local venues: we have various "side" projects which keep us busy when we're not playing at weddings, the details of which are listed below. If you decide to come to any of these performances, it's worth bearing in mind that the typical wedding repertoire will not be played. However, we hope to see you when we're out and about...
