Newcastle-upon-Tyne a lovely Geordie city with a rich history - 3 nights
November 2017 - We spent 3 nights in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the Royal Station Hotel which was a bit noisy with trains at the back and the lively street of Newcastle in the front. Arriving on the train on Friday we headed to the Discovery Museum for the complete history of Newcastle. Saturday morning we went to the Cathedral Church of St Nicholas hoping for breakfast in their “Dog Leap” cafe but it was closed so we went to Café Rouge on the fine Grey Street instead. We then toured Grainger town’s Central Arcade, Grainger Market, the site if the old Bigg Market and the very new Eldon Square shopping centre. On then to the Laing Gallery which was hosting a Paul Nash exhibition. After lunch at the City Tavern we went to the Great North Museum at Hancock which educated us on Hadrian’s wall which was a much bigger deal than we had thought. We had a look at the Pioneers of Pop artwork at the Hatton Gallery, past St James Park football ground to China Town and along the largest remaining section of the city wall. After breakfast at Browns in Grey Street we walked to the Ouseburn district for an interesting tour of the Victoria tunnel by a couple of local Geordies who had some amusing stories to tell. We stopped at The Biscuit Factory art gallery on our way to the Millennium bridge and the quayside market. Over the bridge we called in at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Arts, walked down the Gateshead side of the Tyne river, crossing at the Swing Bridge and along the new developments beside the river. The last day started with a visit to the castle through Blackgate where we listened to the splendid Geordie song Bladon Races sung in a broad Geordie accent (sub titles included). You get to the castle keep under the railway that splits the site in two. From the top of the keep there is a splendid view of the city and the building has some very interesting history. Our trip ended with a visit to the Bessie Surtee house, a restored 17th century merchant’s house.
Newcastle UK
This week we're in Newcastle Uk.
At first we thought it was just another English city. But in reality the city is an interesting party town. At night the central city area is abuzz with nightlife, including restaurants, bars, pubs and nightclubs. The city centre revolves around the the Tyne River and subsequently the Tyne Bridge which bears a striking resemblance to the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia.
The inner city is built with large sweeping avenues and sandstone buildings resembling many in London. It is a great walking city being compact enough to enable anyone fit enough to walk between its famous icons. Its like a mini version of London. The inner suburbs typically have streets rowed with terrace houses which is something of an icon in itself.
The initial history of the city begins with the Roman settlement of Pons Aelius founded by the roman emperor Hadrian, whos famous wall can still be seen running through parts of the city.
The Cathedral Church of St Nicholas is the main cathederal in town whos spire can be seen from many parts of the city. Close to the cathedral is Newcastle Castle, which gave the city its name, and which was itself built on the site of the Hadrian's Wall fort of Pons Aelius.
There are lots of museums in Newcastle, we were able to vist two, The life sciences centre which had some really interesting exhibits including plastination of various animals and human bodies.... look up plastination. Its not for the faint hearted! The second Museum being the Discovery Museum which had a lot of interesting hisorical information on Newcastle.
If driving to the City, You'll pass the Angel of the North, A virtual Gateway to the City.
P.S. Check out the kitty at around 2.00. We were looking after him for a few days while his owners were away. He provided many hours of boisterous fun while we stayed in and regained our travel energy.

Surprising, Lovely Newcastle, England
Newcastle, in my mind associated with industrial activity and coal mining (probably due to the old saying like bringing coals to Newcastle), was a total surprise to me. Instead of smokestacks and grey industrial boxes I found a lovely waterside with soaring bridges, museums, shops and restaurants, and the fascinating mirrored Sage Music Centre, all spread along the Tyne River. Best of all, Newcastle hasn't been discovered by tourists yet. My friend Val, who has spent her entire life in Newcastle, showed me the local castles, pubs,monuments and so much more. I'd love to return to see more. To read more about my round-the-world travels, visit my blog,

15 The Goofus Five at Mike Durham’s Classic Jazz Party, Whitley Bay Sat 2 Nov 2019
The Goofus Five at Mike Durham’s Classic Jazz Party, Whitley Bay 2019 Set 15
The Goofus Five were a group drawn from the ‘California Ramblers’ and led by bass saxophonist Adrian Rollini, who also played the cuesnophone or ‘goofus’. This was a brass instrument shaped like a saxophone but with keys equivalent to the white and black piano notes on its side. It was blown through a flexible tube. The sound for each note came from a harmonica or accordion like reed for each note. The Hohner Melodica works on a similar principal. Mike Davis leads this eagerly awaited one hour set to kick off the Saturday morning session.
Mike Davis- trumpet; Dave Bock- trombone; Michael McQuaid- reeds; David Horniblow- bass sax; David Boeddinghaus- piano; Martin Wheatley- banjo, guitar; Josh Duffee- drums.
Programme notes written by Brian Goggin.
Diary Note -The next Mike Durham International Classic Jazz Party will start on Friday 30 October 2020, at the Village Hotel, (Near Whitley Bay), at Cobalt Park, Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
