NE1FM What's on show, by JoWhereToGo 7-16thNov
Welcome to JoWhereToGo!
Here's the place where I'll put all the facts, figures and phone numbers you'll need to book those days and nights out I mention on the show. Also there'll be extra events I didn't have time to mention...an hour just flies by on radio!
Music:
Friday 9th November
Spunge at the O2 Academy 6.30pm Ska-punk rockers Spunge bring their Brit-ska madness to the O2 in Newcastle. Wear comfy shoes, and skank. A lot.
The Proclaimers + Blueflint at Newcastle City Hall7:30pm Craig & Charlie Reid celebrate their 25th Anniversary
with their ninth album, 'Like Comedy' and head out on tour in the UK
and Europe .
Saturday 10th November
Ed Sheeran at Newcastle City Hall. (and 11th November) He's done well this lad with his brand of nice acoustic tunes, that tug at teenage heartstrings and give ironing people something to warble along to. I was convinced he was the red headed lad in the Harry Potter films. Putting that actor in his music video didn't help my confusion!
The Wedding Present at O2 Academy from 6.30pm. In celebration of the 20th anniversary of their "Seamonsters" LP, the "Weddoes" will be playing it in it's entirety...a phrase that seems to be popping up about a lot of old bands these days!
Guns 2 Roses O2 Academy Newcastle upon Tyne , United Kingdom. Said to be the best GNR tribute in the world. To be honest, they might be better behaved.....Axl?
Nightporter, Kobadelta, Buried in Smoke by Shame Events (Check out their facebook page...lots of gigs and events coming up!: Shame Events )at Dog and Parrot, Clayton Street Newcastle. One of a ongoing series of Saturday night gigs at the D&P. see Event: on Facebook.

Lynyrd Skynyrd at the Sage, Gateshead 7.00pm Southern blues rock makes a welcome return to Gateshead. Featuring original member Gary Rossington plus Johnny Van Zant, Rickey Medlocke and Michael Cartellone.
Mad Dog Mcrea + Cosmo Jarvis The Cluny & The Cluny 2, from8:00pm Newcastle upon
Tyne. This could be a "mental" gig. Mad Dog play a blend of folk, pop, gypsy, jazz, rock, telling tales of life, love, adventure....Cosmo Jarvis is another artist not easily pigeonholed. His songs of obsession, gay pirates, paranoia...I think I might be at this one!
Monday 12th November

Faust: Opera North at the Theatre Royal Faust is a man of middle age who has grown tired of life and yearns only for sensual pleasure and for his lost youth. He summons up Méphistophélès, who agrees to grant his desires – but at the price of his eternal soul. An innocent woman, Marguerite, falls victim to this diabolical pact when she is seduced by Faust: the result is her destruction. But whilst for Marguerite there is hope of redemption, for Faust there is none. A classic tale by Goethe made into a classic opera by Gounod.

Like the king with the corpse on his back, I'm getting close to a brain explosion. Too much, too much! So that's all for now. If you want your event on here, or on the NE1FM show, let me know on Twitter. I'm now @JoWhereToGo. I needed a "professional profile"! And you can email me at jowheretogo@yahoo.co.uk. I guess my next pretentious step would be to start referring to myself as "we" as a lot of PR and plugging people do. But, no, for now, its just me, plugging away.
