A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US...
During the Coronavirus lockdown of 2020, we raised over £10,000 for important local charitable causes, by live streaming music events via social media.
Neil McBride, John Peacock and Richie Harrison from North Shields have 20 years experience of putting on live music events, most recently through Our Little Indie Night, which have had special live DJ sets from artists such as Bez (Happy Mondays), Tim Burgess (The Charlatans), Rick Witter (Shed Seven), Blossoms, Thomas Turgoose (This Is England/Game Of Thrones) and many more. Over the years the lads have put on live shows with bands such as The Cribs, Thee Unstrung, 5 O'Clock Heroes, Kubichek, The Longblondes and hundreds of local artists. All 3 of the lads have a passion for music and have all played in local bands, Neil still plays acoustic gigs locally while John and Richie DJ aftershows for the likes of Shed Seven, The Libertines, Tyson Fury and Reverend and The Makers.
WHAT WE PLAN...
Over the 2021 Easter Weekend, we will replicate the energy of our streamed events, and present a celebration of the return of live music to North Tyneside after what has been a very difficult period for all, particularly those involved in the Arts. We also believe it is about time there was an affordable, accessible, high quality, family friendly event in North Tyneside. We aim to give local artists a chance to perform alongside establishes National acts, and the opportunity to be paid fairly, which can be something of a rarity. We will also be raising valuable funds for the wonderful NEH (North East Homeless), who provide much needed support to vulnerable and homeless people across North Tyneside.
We will be working exclusively with local suppliers to make this festival happen - to give our local events economy a much-needed boost. We have secured a very popular outdoor space on which to hold this event, and the site-owners will be working alongside us to ensure the event is completely safe, sanitary and in line with all Government Covid regulations.
AND FINALLY...
