The Cinematic Orchestra brought their unique blend of jazz, soul and ‘meaty hip hop-funk-swing’ to Newcastle on Saturday night and while I was a little unsure beforehand about how well the recorded material would be performed live, I was very impressed, indeed. Most of the material they played was from their latest album ‘Every Day’ and included some fantastic improvisation from saxophonist Tom Chant and drummer Luke Flowers. Here are their remaining tour dates:

• Tuesday 8th October: The Arches, Glasgow

• Thursay 10th October: Concorde 2, Brighton

• Friday 11th October: Shepherds Bush Empire, London

• Saturday 12th October: Manchester University
