The Friday Night Club with The Unthanks

Discover. Enthuse. A proper Friday night out.
Hosted and curated by Tyneside music pioneers The Unthanks, this series brings together unexpected lineups, from local legends to the best touring artists. Don’t be surprised to find singers alongside poets, comedy followed by classical music or short films next to jazz sets.

Think of it like heading round to a friend’s on a Friday night – good company and music you didn’t expect but won’t forget. A space for discovery, conversation, and shared experience.

There’ll be surprises, singalongs, and even the playlist in the bar will be put together by the artists behind the evening.

Come curious – leave inspired!
