YOUR FORTNIGHTLY
GUIDE TO WHAT’S ON
Fortnightly magazines such as ourselves share a key trait
with those little packets of peanuts you get on airlines. No,
not that they’re packed with a lot more goodness than
you might expect (even though we are) but that opening
them is by far the hardest job of all. But you’ve already
done that now, so relax.
Now regular readers will have to forgive our lack of
introductions, as this time we’re extending our biggest
welcome to the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers,
grandparents, and labradoodles of our City’s graduating
students. Make yourselves right at home, suspend your
disbelief that they actually passed long enough to enjoy
yourself, and let us help you find the perfect place to take
the family for the traditional celebratory meal. Much like
NE1 itself, there’s a whole host of wondrous things for
you to discover within, so read on.

FROM TERRACE BBQ’S TO BIKES IN THE CITY CENTRE, THERE’S
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE THIS FORTNIGHT IN NE1
TOKYO TERRACE BBQ
Not just the home of a quick and
tasty burger, McDonald’s have
something of a commitment to
keeping their local communities and
environments in good shape as well.
With the help of a raft of volunteers,
their Love Where You Live project saw one of the biggest litter picking
drives in the City clear the streets of unwanted rubbish. Would you like
some fries with your slice of good karma, guys?
If you like a cocktail, then the
beautiful terrace bar atop Tokyo won't
be new to you, but it might surprise
you to hear that they've also thrown
in a master class on making your own
and a BBQ for good measure. Hosted
everyday until the Autumn rears its
head again, their in-house mixologists
will take you through their extensive
cocktail menu to help you create your
favourite drinks, while some summer
treats grill themselves to perfection
for afters.

BLACKFRIARS MEETING ROOM
If you're looking to add an original twist to your meetings then it's worth
noting that Blackfriars have now made their famous dormitory available
for such a use. Overlooking the scenic cloister garden, the room
accommodates 100 people standing, or 40 in a theatre style and could
give your away days, board meeting, or fancy presentations that gothic
architecture edge you've secretly always dreamed of.

really go for some amazing food in
the City at a generously discounted

We create new plays, find &

theatre to unlock the potential of
young people. Currently talking
about #TynePlay
So far, how have Live’s 40th
Birthday celebrations been
going?
It’s been a great year, Live
Witness was a really wonderful
promenade piece around our
buildings and Tyne is a lovely
play set around the river . Plus,
we have two great new plays
coming in the Autumn.
For those who might not have
heard of it, what is Tyne?
Tyne (#TynePlay) tells stories,
unlocks history and showcases
music all inspired by the river.
It’s on until Saturday 20th
July, so come and see it.
Who are the writers who have
contributed?
It’s written by Michael
Chaplin (@MichaelChaplin2)
but includes extracts about
the river from other writers
associated with Live Theatre
like Sid Chaplin, Tom
Hadaway, Alan Plater & Julia
Darling.
The SummerTyne Americana festival
returns to NE1 on the weekend
commencing Friday 19th June, as the
likes of Martha Wainwright, The
Mavericks, and Patty Griffin drop into
The Sage to help celebrate the cultural
delights from across the pond. There also
river boat cruises, some delicious street
food and much more.
What can you tell us about
the music involved in it?
Kathryn Tickell (@
KathrynTickell), the musical
director has chosen music
inspired the river and rearranged some traditional
songs, there’s two songs
kindly donated by Sting as
well other well known songs
about the river.

What else can we expect to
see at Live this season?
In the Autumn we are reviving
one of our best known plays,
Cooking with Elvis by Lee
Hall. We’ve also got a new
play called Wet House, a dark
comedy set in a hostel for
alcoholics by Paddy Campbell.
Time flies when you're zipping
around the City on two wheels it

ONE OF THE
BUSIEST AND
MOST ENGAGED
GAY SCENES
NEWCASTLE GAY SCENE
Back in the 90’s when everything was
all crimped hair, Spice Girls, and Baby
G watches, the gay scene in
Newcastle was restricted to only a
handful of bars in and around the
western edge of the City. But in the
years since, the venues and attractions
around Westmorland Road,
Scotswood Road and Marlbrough
have combined to form one of the
strongest scenes in the entire region,
now affectionately and famously
dubbed ‘The Pink Triangle’.
The highest concentration of bars
currently resides on Scotswood Road,
with the stylish @NE (pronounced
“at one”) offering its clientèle a classy
atmosphere and an equally as
impressive cocktail menu; adjacent to
the more let-your-hair-down
approach of The Yard which, as well
and catering for almost any type of
night out, also boasts one of the City’s
most popular regular karaoke
6
evenings. Neil Diamond – Sweet
Caroline, since you asked.
Following the road down brings you
to Switch, which with its sleek
interior for chilling out and relaxing,
and its elaborate dancefloor for
unleashing your dance-mat skills on
an unsuspecting public, is a firm a
firm favourite with younger people. It
even doubles as a grill bar on
weekends and resides underneath
Loft, a nightclub-come-late bar that
offers a more intimate setting for the
evenings that run into the small hours.
Next door to Switch, we have one of
Newcastle’s best kept secrets with the
music and cabaret extravaganza that is
Bank Bar. Incredibly popular with all
ages and inclinations, Bank is home to
the greatest mix of personalities and
larger-than-life experiences you’ll
find on a night out, so successful
they’ve recently celebrated their 15th
birthday.
It’s not all bars mind you, and just a
short pop down the road from these
two sits The Pride Suite, one of
Newcastle’s most successful projects,
its first LGBT community centre. Set
up last year as a versatile and inclusive
space, it’s already hosted markets,
movie nights and art installations, and
its cafe downstairs caters for hungry
visitors until midnight. If the prospect
of cabaret does anything for you,
Boulevard on Churchill Street is now
in the capable hands of Betty Legs
Diamond and offers a Broadway
night like no other with dancers,
table service and seasonal themed
shows running throughout the year.
There’s also the notoriously relaxing
Number 52 Sauna (one of two in the
city with The H20 located on
Blandford Street), which provides
steam and jacuzzi facilities as well as
food, drinks, and some handy free
wi-fi.
Arguably the stand out establishment
on the street is The Eagle Bar,
Newcastle’s own ‘Amsterdam-style’
venue that, whilst not exactly where
you’d go to kick back and unwind,
offers a uniquely dark and brooding
atmosphere specially catering for the
leather, denim and otherwise
uniformed crowd. Worlds away from
the last bar on the street Secrets,
which has instead become popular
for its chilled-out atmosphere and
delicious food.
The influx of leisure venues in Times
Square has long been considered a
key reason for the increase in
popularity of the gay scene, with the
Blonde Barrel being the latest of
these to open its doors after the
highly popular Twist was taken over
and given a radical makeover. Now
incorporating a massive selection of
real ales, a huge open plan space, and
a few booths which provide a more
intimate setting to try the venues
now famous menu of food, it’s fast
established itself as one of the most
modern (albeit with a retro feel) bars
in the city. Flanked by the also
relatively new Rusty’s Bar, named
after legendary Rusty who runs the
venue herself and featuring a host of
impressive cabaret and other live
entertainment, it’s gathering pace as
one of the funnest late-night bars in
Newcastle.
the largest gay scenes, Newcastle can
comfortably stake a claim as having
one of the busiest and most engaged.
This year the annual Pride Festival
celebrates its sixth year, and hopes to
draw as many as 30,000 people into
Leazes Park on Saturday 20th July for
what remains the biggest celebration
of LGBT culture in the North East.
After a giant midday parade from the
Civic Centre, the free event takes
place all day in Exhibition Park with
health stalls, a funfair, a market, and
the X-Factor’s Amelia Lily headlining
an impressive festival stage.
Newcastle’s renowned across the
world for its friendly atmosphere and
welcoming aura of enjoyment, and
no part of town is a better example
of this than The Pink Triangle. Now
that it’s expanded its repertoire from
bars and nightclubs to include cafes,
Despite all the expansion and influx
of new locations, the crown jewel of
this part of town remains
Powerhouse. Just down the road from
the The Dog and Gossip on
Westmorland Road, it’s Newcastle’s
longest standing nightclub at over 20
years old and holds the latest license
in the City - so regardless of what
sort of evening you were planning,
it’s where you’ll most likely find
yourself come the end of the night. It
boasts four floors playing all the latest
pop tunes as well as a huge smoking
terrace, and boasts the likes of JLS
and Olly Murs amongst its glittering
history of guest appearances.
Whilst we can’t yet boast the one of
event spaces, and some of the tastiest
grub in town, now’s the best time
ever to be a part of it whatever your
persuasion.

WHY I’LL PROBABLY
NEVER DRIVE
CARL HUTCHINSON
Driving is just something that’s never appealed to
me, probably because my dad doesn’t drive, I
grew up on the image “I’ll just meet someone
who drives”. Not only does my dad not drive
but when we would inevitably get lost on family
trips he wouldn’t get the map out and help, he
would wave at the people in the street. We had
now driven up and down three times until my
poor mother was forced to ask “What are you
doing?” he would then reply with a big grin on
his face “Well, we’ve been down this street so
many times we’re friends with the locals”. I get
my irritating behaviour from him. I then met
someone who drives, she liked her music only in
the car. With the Glee Soundtrack and Michael
Bublé blasting, Warren Zevon didn’t stand a
chance. I was told “You can have your music
when you drive the car”. So there you go, I took
my driving test FOUR TIMES and passed to
spite my ex-girlfriend. I only use that licence for
when I get ID’d for buying beer, ironically, to
take on the train with me. Carl Hutchinson brings All The Rage to

PUBLIC TRANSPORT
WOES
PAUL DIXON
NEWCASTLE
FOOTBALL PUNDIT
I have been using public transport for three or four
years now, to get to and from work. It wasn’t
through any altruistic environmental concerns, or to
help reduce congestion on the nation’s 15th century
road network. It was more to do with finance, as my
calculations revealed that it was cheaper to run
Elton John than a car. Public transport has its critics,
me mainly, and my subliminal rage towards those
imbeciles who regale everyone with their iPod
choices. That said, it does have its positives, it allows
me to drink huge quantities of alcohol to blot out a
wretched Newcastle performance for example, and
has got me back into my reading habit.
I love books, real ones, not those electronic tablet
books which to me is the equivalent of fancying a
great big steak, and then eating the menu it’s
printed on. Indeed, if bookshops had drinks licenses
I’d probably move in.
There is something about walking around a
bookshop. The staff are different, they let you
browse, unlike other retailers who stalk you like
over-protective parents, and they’re the most
knowledgeable.You get the feeling they actually
enjoy being there. The joy of coming across a book
you’d forgotten about cannot be replicated by
whizzing your finger over a computer screen,
however clever these tablet things are. “You can
store hundreds of books on it,” I was breathlessly
told by one sales assistant “Ah yes,” I replied, “but
you can’t prop a wobbly table up with it if it’s
rubbish.” I have to consider my luck with matters
electronic as well, with a real book there’s no chance
of: “Symphony Mammaria stepped slowly out the
pool, pausing briefly to brush water from
her.............PLEASE CHARGE YOUR TABLET,
YOU HAVE NO BATTERY.”
A bookshelf also adds a little gravitas to the family
home, so much more aesthetic than a silicon slab
flashing and beeping away in the corner, or am I
confusing it with Jordan’s autobiography?

END OF
TERM
With the school term grinding to a shuddering halt, your
only hope for the retention of your own sanity lies in finding
enough activities to keep the little ones sufficiently
entertained until September. Thankfully, there’s plenty on in
the City to keep both their minds and their hands busy over
the coming week and months with some terrific longrunning exhibitions and one-off events.
If you’re looking for a way to scare them into tidying their
rooms, why not get transported back to the Jurassic and
Cretaceous periods at Life Science Centre. Age of the
Dinosaur, a Natural History Museum exhibition, gives you a
glimpse of life as it was 65 million years ago and is running
every day throughout the summer. Or for something with a
few less teeth, The Discovery Museum hosts a Teddy Bear’s
tea party on Thursday 25th July where there will be cake
decorating, face painting, and even a teddy hunt. Meanwhile,
over at Seven Stories on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th,
there’s an entire weekend dedicated to the Vikings in
celebration of the return to the region of the Lindisfarne
gospels. From craft activities to legendary story telling, they’ll
learn all about how to become a hero the hard way.

FRIDAY 23RD AUGUST
Shani Rhys James: The Rivalry
Of Flowers. The relationship of the
figure within its domestic space has
been a key motif in Shani Rhys
James’ work and in her current series
of paintings her figures compete with
the overblown floral wallpaper for
dominance. In ‘Skinny Rib’, the
figure’s head stands in permanence,
her body seems to be caught in the
process of creation. The figure, left
almost transparent in places, leaves us
wondering whether she is part of her
opulent background or what is
actually on show here; the interior
scene, the oversize lilies or the figure
itself? University Gallery, Northumbria
University, Sandyford Road, Newcastle.

Sandra Blow. A pioneer of the British
post-war abstract movement Sandra
Blow’s work started in the radical
atmosphere of the pre-Arte Povera
movement under the influence of Alberto
Burri, and she remained loyal to the
language of abstraction throughout her
career. Burri introduced her to paintings
and assemblages created with sackcloth
and ashes, the only materials available to
him as a prisoner of war. Fuelled also by
the Renaissance principles of geometry,
light and scale, Blow set about treating
form with its own innate reality and
rejecting subject matter in terms of
representation, “I can remember that
extraordinary sense of shedding
everything, of leaving all known tracks
and then just looking for something that
could be my own, of interpreting the
actual structure of the painting, which
seems to connect with abstract structure
and space – and finding my own
language in it!” University Gallery,

his mixed media art from a studio in the
Balearic Islands, a Mediterranean paradise
that has been connected with hedonism
and mystical spirituality for thousands of
years. Joshua’s art begins as collage
formed from clippings taken out of
high-end lifestyle magazines. Using oil
paints, he transforms the collages into
epic vignettes inspired by the ‘fantasy art’
of the 1970s. The imaginary scenes retain
references to our modern age, including
contemporary make-up on the proud
female figures who are his heroines.
Wielding magical contraptions, vorpal
blades and considerable presence these
heroines embody the appeal, and potency,
of emancipated modern womanhood.

The Postcard – A Voyage Of
Discovery. Curated by Gail-Nina
Anderson. The postcard is the piece of
mail we prop up on the mantelpiece or
stick to the fridge door, usually more of a
greeting than a message, a few words on
the reverse of an image, a sign that
someone is thinking of us. Every postcard
also represents a moment of choice,
encapsulating the process when we
thought this particular image would be
the one to send - the card we select for a
particular recipient says a vast amount

about our relationship to them. And the
choice made by the publisher, who has to
consider a card likely to sell. This opens
up some fascinating speculations about
the taste of the time. This exhibition
offers a light-hearted exploration of why
postcards appeal, inviting speculation
about our own choices and collections.

and you’ve no idea where does

wares and giving everything
the once over.
Whichever box you’re ticking,

Newcastle. Plus, the next
issue’s all about restaurant
week, and the Quayside, so if

discounts than you would have
thought possible. See you then!

Enjoy a lifestyle
test drive.
Your car is a big part of your life, so why should test driving it be such a small
part of the process? We think you should go away and live with it. At Benfield,
with 14 brands to choose from, we want to make sure you get the car that’s
right for you. That’s why we let you take it away, see if it goes in your garage,
and whether the dog fits in the back. It’s only by taking the time to get to know
each other that you’ll discover if you’re right for each other.
Benfield. Enjoy the journey.
