This month we did our first Live Music Now tour up to Newcastle area to do workshops in special schools. Pictured left: Soundcheck before our largest performance to over 150 kids. What a great time! Pete and Aron especially liked pretenting they were on a chat show with the wireless microphones. Overall, we were so impressed with each of the schools we visited, the staff were all so easy going and helpful, the kids listened very well and participated enthusiastically.
We hope to see you all again!

In our spare time we had fun exploring Newcastle and found some dandy spots. One of our favorite funk/soul venues, Hoochie Coochie was on form (The Allsorts Band played there back in November) 9 Bar Coffee served up some excellent java, square mile roasted style and the food looked so good. After our first time at Dabbawl for some Indian street food, we had to go back again. Katie cured her fear of savory pies having too much pastry at The Red House and thank goodness for Central Bean being right beside the hotel with their lovely cappuccinos both of the traditional (for Pete and Katie) and modern (Aron) variety. We saw a friend's gig at The Head of Steam, Katie got some new drum heads at Newcastle Drum Centre and we had our loose leaf minds blown at Quilliam Bros. Tea House. Lastly BrewDog Newcastle taught us a thing or two about craft beer. What a reet lush time, we love Newcastle!!
