Makeshift Art Bar Newcastle | Cluny 2 Gig Preview

Makeshift Art Bar Newcastle at Cluny 2 on Monday 12 October 2026 adds another emerging alternative act to Ouseburn’s autumn calendar. The Cluny’s official listing confirms the date and supplies the current event image, while the smaller Cluny 2 room should give the band’s live set the close audience connection that suits a developing act.

The booking sits comfortably within the venue’s mix of independent guitar music and newer touring names, but the compact setting should stop it feeling like just another date on a long calendar. Instead, the room gives the performance space to build while keeping the audience close enough for quieter details and sharper changes in pace to register properly.

Cluny 2 is particularly effective for artists at this stage because it can feel busy and immediate without needing arena-scale production or an oversized crowd. That should allow the focus to stay on the songs and performance, while giving anyone discovering the band for the first time a more direct introduction than a larger venue might offer.

October is already one of the busiest months in Ouseburn, so this show also gives gig-goers another option away from the more established names appearing nearby. Anyone planning to attend should keep an eye on the official listing as the date approaches, particularly for support announcements and final timings.
