Byker Arts Festival
FRIDAY 28TH JULY
7:30 pm // MAIN HALL
Artist Commission Performance // Beth Veitch
Dance, Theatre, Music
A dance piece about my Gran, Irene Veitch. She is an 87 year old superstar, having grown up in Byker, and has the strongest North East spirit ofanyone I know! She has vibrant stories of her upbringing that paint colour, joy, love, struggle, and above all – the strength of community. The work will be a duet with a North East-based emerging artist with voice & live music & a washing line of North East memories to be added to before and during the festival.
8:30 pm// MAIN HALL
Festival Launch Party! // Booze, food, games and tunes!
Hosted by Jamie Cook & Hannah Guy

With favourite games such as KEITH, BEEF OR TEETH? and FRUIT HEIGHT.
Prizes, Points, and Pints!
