 TICKETS for Sunderland’s brand new summer music event are selling fast, as fans eager to enjoy a weekend of nostalgia continue to snap them up.

The Kubix Festival is heading to Herrington County Park over the weekend of Friday and Saturday August 10 and 11, 2018, and is set to feature some of biggest names from the 70s, 80s and 90s.

Former Boyzone frontman Ronan Keating will headline a 1990s-inspired line up on Friday, performing some of the band’s biggest hits along with his own solo chart-toppers.

 On Saturday, the 80s’ favourite Prince Charming, Adam Ant, will be leading a star-studded programme featuring leading stars from the alternative and indie scenes.

 These are set to include Buzzcocks, The Boomtown Rats featuring Bob Geldof, Fun Lovin Criminals, Peter Hook & The Light, The Undertones and The Blockheads.

Tickets have been released in four stages to allow early buyers the chance to take advantage of the best prices.

Early Bird and first release tickets sold out earlier in the year and now organisers report that the second wave is selling very quickly.

“The way we have organised it has been to release tickets in four waves so people who bought early would receive the best deals,” said festival organiser Alex Hutchinson.

“Our Early Bird tickets flew out the door, swiftly followed by the first wave and now we are seeing the second tier is close to selling out.  Once these are gone, we will be making our third and final selection of advance tickets available, and that will be the last chance to buy.

“This is a totally new event and we always knew it was going to be popular, and sales have reflected this. We anticipate that the whole event will sell out very, very quickly once all the tickets have been released so I’d advise anyone who wants to be there to get booking as soon as possible.”

Shuttle bus services will be provided for both shows and will run from Sunderland, Newcastle, Durham, Gateshead, Hartlepool and Middlesbrough on both days, while free parking will also be available at the venue.

Both shows will be family friendly, with reduced tickets available for accompanied under-15s.

"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....
