Winter Food and Craft Fair 
at Gateshead Rugby Club, 
5th and 6th December

"CHANGE OF VENUE - due to advice we have received from our marquee provider about the safety of the marquee in strong winds forecast for Saturday we have changed the venue of the event. It will now be held at the Dryden Centre, Evistones Road NE9 5UR. This is just around the corner from the Rugby Club and has its own car park. "


"Our first Winter Food & Craft Fair will be on Saturday 5th & 6th December and is held at Gateshead Rugby Club.
The event will be held in both the rugby club hall and a heated marquee, with over 70 stallholders confirmed, each day,  with a wide variety of wonderful gift items including north east themed products, personalised artwork & Christmas products, real Christmas trees and locally sourced food products. 

Planning is coming along very nicely with a full programme of entertainment for the Saturday and Sunday this includes traditional Christmas carols, The Salvation Army brass band, George Welch & Christine Jeans, Simma & the Acoustic Circus, 2Sum and the brilliant Dave Lynas.

On the Saturday we have characters from Frozen coming along to meet the children and we also have a drop-in craft workshop where you can decorate ceramic Christmas decorations to take home. We also plan to have face painting available on both the Saturday & the Sunday.

We appreciate that shopping can be thirsty work so over the course of the weekend we will have a selection of Christmas ales including:- Xmas Chaos, Santas little smelter, Santa paws, Hapi Christmas, The Great Escape, A Spiced Pear and Brandy porter and a Creme Caramel Stout. Not to forget our mulled wines & ciders
Wear your christmas jumpers or festive headwear with pride and you could win a a family day pass to Washington Wetlands Trust or a pair of tickets to Gateshead Beer & Music Festival.
We are supporting three charities over the weekend. Save the Children will be having a stall selling their delicious jams and marmalades and we will be a collection point for both the Gateshead Food Bank and the Salvation Army toy appeal.

The planning has been a real labour of love and we're all really excited about the Fair and like the beer festival we hope it will become an annual event and bring a wide community together to celebrate local products, services and some fantastic charities.

"It Started With A Cracked Screen" Do your research about where NOT to go to get your phone or computer fixed #consumer #tech #mobilephone #repairs

It's just a crack in the screen...... Not my usual kind of blog post. The smartphone has become part of everyday life. For a business like mine it had opened up new avenues to spread the word about my clients as a PR. I found some of these shut suddenly when my phone hurtled to the kitchen floor. Just a cracked screen. I worried the phone may cost a fortune to fix, but got similar quotes from about 3 people and so when one of them called back promising a 48 hr turnaraound, and 6 months warranty, I thought, I could trust the friendly voice of "John" at the other end of the line. The UPS driver arrived within 10 minutes and my phone was in a padded envelope off to Elite Phones And Computers in Manchester. This was a mistake. I hadn't checked the reviews online, something I always do, and warn other when I find the bad ones.  I sent the phone on Friday and on Monday checked on progress, using the on-site messaging service the company prefers to use instead of ema...

The Stagg Do 5 years in the making, written by an American (James DeMarco) , about Geordies, starring Geordies, with Geordie music and with a premiere screened on Westgate Road at the O2 Academy, this was truly a local affair. The story, about a camping trip involving a groom, his best man and his mates takes a turn for the uncomfortable when the father-in-law to be joins the group. Staggy, played by Andrew Stagg is being chaperoned by his fiancee's (Charlotte, played by Therase Neve) father, "The Judge". Daddy-in-law to be, is played by Bill Fellows, a familiar face on many TV series and films. This scuppers the plans of best-man Pob, and pals Si (Simon Buglass) and Radgy (Craig Conway), who really wanted the trip to evolve into a "beer and titties" extravaganza. Much silliness, drug references, the funny things that can happen, in the dark, in the Northumberland countryside add up to an enjoyable romp enhanced greatly by a fabulous soundtrack provided ent...

#livereview Gary Lucas at The Cluny

Live Review:  Gary Lucas at The Cluny, Newcastle Still buzzing from a standing ovation in Liverpool the night before, Gary opened the show with a cover: I Remember .The rich sound came from his “distressed” acoustic guitar which he claimed was older than him .  Gary filled in between songs with history and amazing anecdotes. He was an anglophile in New York.  He studied at Yale. He loved the Move. He reminisced about John peel breaking Beefheart in U.K.  He saw Beefheart in New York. Interviewed Don Van Vliet for student radio whilst majoring in English Literature. Beefheart was bigger in Europe and Australia rather than in the US, but he knew then he wanted to perform with them. The next song was on electric. Evening Bell was a finger-picking  master class. He’s kept the explosive, disjointed quality of the song as he was instructed to play it all those years ago.  He talked about working as record company advertising executive....
