The city of Newcastle is less know for it's stunning industrial architecture and more commonly - especially to those born in the 1980s - as the home of teen soap Byker Grove, Football and Paul Gascoigne's rendition of Fog on the Tyne. However, pushing stereotypes aside it's a very welcoming city whose populace has an insatiable passion for live music. I'm visiting to see Twisted Wheel support The Enemy at the local academy Venue. The gig is a full on rock & roll fest with both bands pleasing the rowdy audience. Show over and I get to sample the nightlfe that draws so many stag and hens up here for a final night of freedom. Needless to say i had a good time and surpisingly - without being patronising - I was served the best tapas i've tasted outside of Spain in a city that's famed for placing strips on donner meat on pizza. Good times.
