A JAZZ group is helping a hotel and restaurant in Darlington to boost trade through a regular music night.
The three-piece Jazz Girl band has performed every month at the New Grange Hotel for the past year, and the jazz nights have proved a hit with guests.
The Newcastle-based band play at the hotel and Maxine's bar and restaurant, on the last Friday of every month.
The group, which formed in 1999, play popular music from the 1930s to 1950s.
The management team at the hotel has been overwhelmed by the response from visitors.
John Birnie, general manager at the New Grange Hotel and Maxine's, said: "Jazz night gives our guests the opportunity to enjoy quality music and good food in a relaxing atmosphere.
"Both Jazz Girl and the New Grange Hotel have achieved a wealth of success in the past year and I hope they both continue to flourish.
