Now that it has been confirmed Backstage Pass : Redcar Jazz Club will remain in print indefinitely, the three authors - Dennis Weller, Chris Scott Wilson & Graham Lowe thought a short promo video should be posted on YouTube. The club's name was a misnomer. Originally presenting Trad Jazz, the club quicklly moved on to Blues and Rock artists. Running alongside the 200 stunning photographs, there is a social commentary of what life was like in the media-starved 60s leading to clubs like Redcar flourishing, also memorabilia, along with quotes from the artists who played there and the audiences who witnessed their performances.
This video presents a quick snapshot, well worth three minutes of your time, and crank up the speakers !!
