Sara Oschlag Joins the Arnie Somogyi Trio at The Globe, Newcastle

Danish jazz vocalist Sara Oschlag comes to The Globe in Newcastle on Sunday 25 October 2026, performing with the Arnie Somogyi Trio. The concert begins at 8pm, with doors at 7pm. Oschlag has spent years performing in jazz clubs and at festivals across the UK and Europe, and this date puts her expressive singing alongside a compact trio led by one of Britain’s established jazz bassists.

Oschlag’s approach to a song puts phrasing, rhythm and the relationship between words and melody at the centre of the performance. She has appeared both as a bandleader and a guest musician, so a small-group concert is a familiar setting for her. Rather than rely on a large backing band, she has the space to work closely with the instrumentalists and respond to the shape of a tune as it develops. The programme has not been published in advance, so individual song titles should not be taken as confirmed for the Newcastle date.

The advertised line-up is Sara Oschlag on vocals, Joe Steels on guitar, Arnie Somogyi on double bass and John Hirst on drums. The guitar, bass and drums arrangement gives the singer a clear melodic and rhythmic foundation while leaving room for the players to interact. Although the evening is billed under Somogyi’s trio name, Oschlag is very much part of this four-person line-up, making the balance between voice and instruments an important feature of the show.

Somogyi has played on more than 60 albums, including five as a leader, and has performed with a wide range of musicians. His credits include work with the Mingus Big Band, appearances at Ronnie Scott’s and performances with artists beyond the jazz circuit. That experience is a useful match for Oschlag, whose interpretations depend on both a strong sense of swing and the flexibility to bring a different feel to familiar material. The Globe date brings those careers together in a close-up live performance.

Tickets cost £12 in advance or £14 on the door, with a £7 rate for people aged 25 and under. Seating at The Globe is unreserved, and the venue keeps ticket-holders’ names at the door rather than sending out physical tickets.
