Jowheretogo Show NE1FM what's on 15th - 29th November 2012
About the Blog
This blog is a work in progress, the format is going to evolve when I work out exactly how it and the radio show are going to fit together to give you a taste of what's on in Newcastle (and anywhere else I end up, I get around!). I was tearing my hair out a little yesterday when I realised how long I had spent looking things up and putting them on here. Then I came back to rationality and realised...anyone can do a listings website, if they have staff and loads of man hours. Newcastle has too much on for one woman to handle alone.
This is more than a listings site. Its about what I find interesting about Newcastle, the variety of things to do. I'm sharing the things that really catch my eye, or ear, or imagination. And it means anything I mention on NE1 FM can be looked up on here. Click the pink links for websites, booking pages, band facebook pages. Try something different, go somewhere new. if I help you do that, I'm a happy blogger.
