@Jowheretogo in Newcastle/Gateshead 7-22nd January 2012
Happy New Year!
I hope you all had an excellent festive season and you weren't plagued by one of the many varied nasty viruses. Unfortunately the Jowheretogo house was full of the dreaded lurgy but we didn't let it spoil it too much!
2013 is set to be an interesting one (in a good way I hope) for Jowheretogo. With a website, under construction, introducing bands, artists, comics, events and theatre in a way that isn't just a listings site, its going to be more personal than that. I love music and entertainment, and I want you to get the best out of your spare time and hard earned cash. You can hear some of the bands I'm suggesting you see on my Jowheretogo Show on NE1FM 102.5...follow @jowheretogo for details.
January is set to be a quieter month. Confidence in people's ability to afford a night out after Christmas is low. However there are some gems out there. Newcastle and Gateshead, we're not just going to stop being a mecca for great music, theatre and comedy just because it's January!
What's on in January then?

Theatre
Aladdin at the Theatre Royal until 19th January (pretty cool effects and a gripping show all the way through.) Sad to see the Theatre change their ice cream from the lovely local Beckleberry's to some generic Italian style stuff. Shame on you! Sorry I just love Beckleberry's. I was looking forward to the interval!
Equally Divided by Ronald Harwood at The Little Theatre in Gateshead. I really must check this little place out! Until 19th January.
The Rise and Fall of Little Voice at the Theatre Royal from 22nd January to 26th January.
Arsenic and Old Lace at the People's Theatre, all done by volunteers, great value theatre at the great venue.
I'll be back with more events later in the week. And listen out to NE1FM for the Jowheretogo show. Enjoy life, its what it's for!
