A night showcasing some of the North East's finest.
Professional burger-flipper Robyn Banks spits the female experience out most eloquently, mastering the art of not biting her tongue. With lyrical hacky looks straight from Gateshead, Robyn balances alternative with melodies that stay stuck in your teeth. A remarkable voice and a must-see songwriter.
“Poignant lyrics, bold and brave” Shakk, BBC Introducing.
PLUS SUPPORTS Charlie Floyd
If the generational influence of The Beatles passed through the sharp style of The Style Council and Gorillaz, filtered through Beck’s raw sonic experimentation and Tyler, The Creator’s meticulous approach to arrangement, you might arrive at something like Charlie Floyd — a 24-year-old artist representing a bold new chapter of British indie-rock. Writing, recording and producing his own material, he is shaping a distinctive sound that is resonating across the North East music scene. Clean, melodic, groove-infused instrumentals support vocals often compared to a modern, Bono-esque delivery — powerful, emotive, and built for big stages.
and Sarah Johnsone
Sarah and her band have crossed the country, delivering live performances with raucous peaks and piercing, intimate moments. They’ve earned support slots with English Teacher and Prima Queen, and festival appearances at Victorious, 110 Above and Stockton Calling. Sarah Johnsone is solidifying her place as one of the region’s most exciting acts - an opinion shared by BBC Music Introducing in the North East.
