HARDWICK LIVE 2018 PROMISES TWO DAYS OF STELLAR MUSIC…


THE North East’s biggest live music event has announced its line up for what will be this summer’s hottest festival – extended into two full days of sizzling entertainment for the first time.

 Hardwick Live Festival will return on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 August – and has unveiled some of the top acts which will be taking to the stage.

 On Saturday indie favourites the Kaiser Chiefs will headline, followed by the Happy Mondays on Sunday.

 The multi award-winning Kaiser Chiefs, headed up by frontman Ricky Wilson, have a string of major hits to their name including Ruby, Every Day I Love You Less and Less and I Predict A Riot.

 The Happy Mondays emerged from the 1980s Manchester rock scene and were first signed to the legendary Factory Records.



Led by singer songwriter Shaun Ryder, the band continues to have a huge following and will be one of the Hardwick Live highlights.

 Also headlining on Sunday is Shed Seven, who last year successfully released their first studio album in more than a decade.

And they are just three of the many acts lined up to appear, along with big names including Echo and The Bunnymen, Feeder, Vintage Trouble, Public Image Limited, Ash, Melanie C and Heather Small.

 Also appearing across the weekend are the Cuban Brothers, New York Brass Band and Lucy Spraggan.

 The family-friendly festival will also offer fairground rides, a food village, a comedy tent, silent disco and – for the first time –  a unique dining experience prepared by celebrity chefs.


 The DJ line up is stronger than ever this year and reads like a who’s who of the music industry.

 Danny Rampling, Graeme Park, Greg Wilson, Brandon Block, Alex P, Linden C, James Parker, Tony Hutchinson, Steve Butler, Michael Johnson, Peter Wharrier and Rob Oxley will all take to the decks at various times over the weekend.

 And for anyone who doesn’t want to miss a minute of the event, there are both glamping and camping options available.

 John Adamson, owner of Ramside Estates which runs Hardwick Live Festival, is delighted with the line-up.

 “We had an amazing year last year which is why we have decided to go for two full days this year,” he said.

 “The acts are amazing and we should be adding other names as time goes on.

 “It absolutely will be a year to remember.”

 Tickets for this year’s Hardwick Live are now on sale at £49 for one day or £89 for both days. Concessions are available for children and 13-17-year-olds.For more information visit www.hardwicklive.co.uk

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....
