A Family Night at Newcastle Eagles
It’s amazing what can happen in a year. I’ve gone from a hater of sports to a lover of Basketball. Watching such a fast-paced game is entertaining and can be exhilarating. Over 2017 I think we have been to see 5 home games of Newcastle Eagles and every time we’ve seen them win. We’re sort of like…

Enchanted Parks 2017-Saltwell Park Gateshead
For the second December running, we braved the cold to head out to Saltwell Park for their Enchanted park Inventor’s Ball. It really was a freezing night and we will all look like the Michelin men the number of layers we had on. We booked a 7.30pm slot on the Friday evening, as I knew Alan wouldn’t…

Dosa Kitchen, Jesmond – South Indian Canteen
Sometimes the inspiration from a night outcomes from know where sometimes it right under your nose. We visited Dosa Kitchen in Jesmond on their opening night. I’d been working on the signs for the kitchen and it was only upon the day of installation that I thought we should try it out. Dosa Kitchen Jesmond Dosa…

Patisserie Valerie, Durham
Last week my mind started to wander and I discussed the options for selecting delicious cakes as a treat. A quick google brought up Patisserie Valerie and I lost 5 minutes of my working day. Just to clarify the cake discussion was work banter. Would you eat a custard slice in public? Patisserie Valerie, Durham It…

Robinson Crusoe at The Gala Theatre, Durham
After a lovely wander around Durhams’ shops and cobbled streets on a crisp cold afternoon, we headed to the Gala Theatre for the Press Night of their “Swashbuckling Family Panto” Robinson Crusoe.

Disney Themed Sunderland Illuminations 2017
As a young Little Alan, I recall visiting Sunderland Illuminations on the way home from visiting my Auntie in Seaham. My dad would drive along the sea front and we’d gaze out at the strings of bulbs hanging across the roads. Something similar to Blackpool’s Illuminations but in a smaller scale. Turns out that Sunderland…

Kaltur High Bridge | Newcastle’s best Tapas!
Kaltur is a new Tapas bar on High Bridge Street, Newcastle. I first got to know about them when I was asked to do the signage work with my day job. Enrique said to me while I was working “We’re going to offer the best authentic tapas in Newcastle”. Now I am a very cynical…

Morgan and West – Parlour Tricks – Tyne Theatre and Opera House
Morgan and West are Magicians, Time Travellers and all round spiffing Chaps! With an introduction like that you can be assured that there presentation of Parlour Tricks will set them out as a different kind of magic act. I’ve mentioned before that I love magic. Possibly something that I don’t disclose that often is that…

South Tyneside Comedy Festival Launch Night
Sometimes it feels like we fall into a comfortable spot and return to it time after time. Saturday night marked the opening night of the South Tyneside Comedy Festival. The opening event was Cook and Ramsey: Mucking About at the Customs House. So, as I say we return to what we love. Firstly Jason Cook,…

Wylam Brewery Events – London African Gospel Choir sings ‘Graceland’
Despite the Wylam Brewery being open a few month now, we needed to find an excuse to visit. As a bar you need to be a serious beer / ale drinker to stumble into here. As I’m more of a lager man, the lure was a recent Wylam Brewery event. The London African Gospel Choir…
