POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

A memorable Friday night in Newcastle celebrating the second day of the Mercury Prize Fringe.  From jazz, indie-pop and Afrobeats to experimental electronics and all-night DJ sets, the city was alive with music across genres, alongside masterclasses and discussions shining a light on the people behind the music.

At The Tyneside Cinema, the Music Video Preservation Society brought the visual side of music to the big screen with The Art Behind the Song, exploring the creativity and stories behind some of this year’s Mercury-nominated artists.

Over at The Globe, a packed showcase brought together everything from disco and funk to folk-punk. Elsewhere, @f54_live took over @thecumberlandarms with a showcase rooted in the North East’s industrial music heritage, while @northernroots_ncl brought Afrobeats, rap, R&B and soul to Pilgrim. Indie-pop took centre stage at Head of Steam with @liiftlive, and @babygreygosforth hosted For The Record X Edmondson. To round things off, @lasantaleticia and @lovellious_ took over @odioouseburn with a journey through global sounds on vinyl.

Meet Santa Leticia.

DJ, translator, music curator, Worldwide FM radio host - and one of our Local Heroes.

In the lead-up to @mercuryprize, we’re shining a light on the people behind Newcastle’s music scene who keep showing up, backing new music and making this city sing.

Leticia talks about being adopted by the city - from the overwhelming feeling of stepping off the train from London for the first time, to discovering Newcastle’s music scene and culture, and building her career as a DJ.

A passionate vinyl selector, Leticia’s brings together sounds from across the globe, creating an eclectic musical tapestry, and a night you won’t forget.

“For me it’s about the music that moves your feet and your soul [...] it has to be educational; it’s not just entertainment.”

Planning on using my 2 weeks off very well so I started on Friday by giving straight into the list of places I’ve been meaning to try for ages.

📍 @miso_newcastle in Ouseburn has been on there for a while so I took Arthur along to treat myself.

Japanese small plates is my ideal lunch and the menu actually changed a couple of weeks ago, so if you visit soon it’s likely to be similar. I went for the salmon tartare with tomato nam jim and crispy rice paper- crunchy and a bit spicy, the fried salt and chilli chicken wings - messy but worth it for the taste, and steamed chicken gyoza with chilli crisp rayu - phenomenal.

Would have loved a margarita to go with it from the cocktails specials but sadly I had the car, so I’ll have to rectify that next time.

Will absolutely be back 🥟
