The Jive Aces have established themselves as the UK’s top jive and swing band and are renowned for their high energy Jump Jive music (the exciting sound where Swing meets Rock ’n’ Roll) and spectacular stage show. In the wake of Baz Luhrman’s Elvis biopic, we are delighted that the band will for this show explore the roots of Elvis, the King of Rock & Roll, one of the band’s greatest inspirations! For this very special show while still mostly seated, there will be a dance floor available at the front of the auditorium for dancing if you feel the urge! https://sunderlandculture.org.uk/events/the-jive-aces-present-the-roots-of-elvis/

One of the definitive live acts of the last 25 years Mogwai have announced a run of UK tour dates including Gateshead for the first time in over a decade. The tour will feature tracks from Mogwai’s 2021 number one record, As The Love Continues, as well as classic Mogwai tracks from their innovative career. The band will be accompanied on tour by Brainiac, who have reformed 25 years after the tragic death of their singer Timmy Taylor, during which time they gathered cult-support from Trent Reznor, The Flaming Lips and Mogwai themselves. https://sagegateshead.com/whats-on/mogwai-plus-brainiac/

The Johnny Cash Roadshow is finally back and better than ever with a brand new show. This year award winning Clive John pays homage to Cash’s career as the Man In Black, alongside his iconic wife June Carter (Meghan Thomas) and a genuine top of the league band playing double bass, fender telecaster and acoustic guitars, drums, piano, trumpet and four part vocal harmonies. Delivering all the hits such as Walk the Line, Ring of Fire, Jackson, Orange Blossom Special and Boy Named Sue along-side some of the darker more atmospheric songs from the later American Recordings such as Hurt, this year’s show is an emotional roller-coaster through Cash’s career, packed together in one fantastic unforgettable evening’s entertainment. https://www.tynetheatreandoperahouse.uk/events/the-johnny-cash-roadshow/

A thrilling evening of dynamic folk musicianship from two of the UK’s premier youth ensembles headlined by rising star Grace Smith. Wielding the distinct voices of fiddle, concertina, and double bass, The Grace Smith Trio cast dynamic, expressive, and reactive musical forces into a dialogue between these three individual yet like-minded musicians. Sam Partridge and Bevan Morris join Grace in forming this engaging folk ensemble, inspired by the traditional music of England, audiences can expect to be immersed in a sound world where ideas become reality forged by bellows, bow and bass. The National Youth Folk Ensemble brings together talented young folk musicians from across England. Sparks invariably fly when they create their own contemporary takes on traditional music from England and beyond. These exceptional 14–18-year-olds meet four times a year for intensive weeks of music-making, led by Artistic Director Sam Partridge, with top folk musicians and educators including Andy Cutting, Rob Harbron and Emma Reid. Folkestra is a vibrant group of young folk musicians, based at Sage Gateshead, playing original music and new arrangements. Founded by Kathryn Tickell, they have learned and performed with a huge number of prominent folk musicians both from the North East and further afield. Recently they have been enjoying working with prolific Northumbrian Piper and composer Andy May. https://sunderlandculture.org.uk/events/grace-smith-trio-national-youth-folk-ensemble-folkestra/
