NE1FM What's on show, by JoWhereToGo 7-16thNov

Welcome to JoWhereToGo!


Here's the place where I'll put all the facts, figures and phone numbers you'll need to book those days and nights out I mention on the show. Also there'll be extra events I didn't have time to mention...an hour just flies by on radio!

Music:

Friday 9th November

Spunge at the O2 Academy 6.30pm Ska-punk rockers Spunge bring their Brit-ska madness to the O2 in Newcastle. Wear comfy shoes, and skank. A lot.

The Proclaimers + Blueflint at Newcastle City Hall 7:30pm Craig & Charlie Reid celebrate their 25th Anniversary with their ninth album, 'Like Comedy' and head out on tour in the UK and Europe.



Saturday 10th November

Ed Sheeran at Newcastle City Hall. (and 11th November) He's done well this lad with his brand of nice acoustic tunes, that tug at teenage heartstrings and give ironing people something to warble along to. I was convinced he was the red headed lad in the Harry Potter films. Putting that actor in his music video didn't help my confusion!


The Wedding Present at O2 Academy from 6.30pm. In celebration of the 20th anniversary of their "Seamonsters" LP, the "Weddoes" will be playing it in it's entirety...a phrase that seems to be popping up about a lot of old bands these days!


Guns 2 Roses O2 Academy Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom. Said to be the best GNR tribute in the world. To be honest, they might be better behaved.....Axl?

Nightporter, Kobadelta, Buried in Smoke by Shame Events (Check out their facebook page...lots of gigs and events coming up!: Shame Events )at Dog and Parrot, Clayton Street Newcastle. One of a ongoing series of Saturday night gigs at the D&P. see Event: on Facebook.

Oh, decisions, decisions...

Lynyrd Skynyrd at the Sage, Gateshead 7.00pm Southern blues rock makes a welcome return to Gateshead. Featuring original member Gary Rossington plus Johnny Van Zant, Rickey Medlocke and Michael Cartellone.


Mad Dog Mcrea + Cosmo Jarvis The Cluny & The Cluny 2, from 8:00pm  Newcastle upon Tyne. This could be a "mental" gig. Mad Dog play a blend of folk, pop, gypsy, jazz, rock, telling tales of life, love, adventure....Cosmo Jarvis is another artist not easily pigeonholed. His songs of obsession, gay pirates, paranoia...I think I might be at this one!


Monday 12th November


Deaf Havana + Canterbury  O2 Academy Newcastle, Newcastle upon Tyne Screamo, post-hardcore and southern rock from Kings Lynn. Nominated for 2010’s Kerrang! Best British Newcomer Award, Deaf Havana are one of the UK's most exciting bands, the BBC think so anyway!

Monday 12th - Saturday 17th November

The Late Edwina Black at the Little Theatre Gateshead. The housekeeper seems to be the only one mourning the passing of Edwina Black. She was not the nicest person to live with, belittling and bullying both her husband and her companion Elizabeth.

Tuesday 13th-Friday 16th Nov

Faust: Opera North at the Theatre Royal Faust is a man of middle age who has grown tired of life and yearns only for sensual pleasure and for his lost youth. He summons up Méphistophélès, who agrees to grant his desires – but at the price of his eternal soul. An innocent woman, Marguerite, falls victim to this diabolical pact when she is seduced by Faust: the result is her destruction. But whilst for Marguerite there is hope of redemption, for Faust there is none. A classic tale by Goethe made into a classic opera by Gounod.

Post show discussion Wednesday 14th November.

The King and The Corpse.at Northern Stage .Crazy 2000 year old story of a king forced to carry the corpse of a hanged man on his back. Bad enough, but the corpse is possessed by a vampire who keeps tormenting the poor king with puzzles that threaten to make his brain pop! Performed by TUUP an amazing storyteller of the internationally acclaimed " Crick Crack Club". A mad collaboration with sitar virtuoso Sheema Mukherjee.

That's all for now!

Like the king with the corpse on his back, I'm getting close to a brain explosion. Too much, too much! So that's all for now. If you want your event on here, or on the NE1FM show, let me know on Twitter. I'm now @JoWhereToGo. I needed a "professional profile"! And you can email me at jowheretogo@yahoo.co.uk. I guess my next pretentious step would be to start referring to myself as "we" as a lot of PR and plugging people do. But, no, for now, its just me, plugging away.
