Tyneside’s soul-funk heroes Smoove & Turrell
pitch-up at the 2015 Rugby World Cup Fanzone in the shadow of St James’ Park on
Sunday October 4. The North East Calling event is one of many cultural
happenings associated with the elite egg chasers’ big time global showcase. A
four thousand capacity marquee has been erected on the former S & N Brewery
site now known as Science Central located just off St James’ Boulevard.
North East Calling is a free event – no ticket
required – beginning at four o’clock. Many up-and-coming bands are on the bill
and it is Smoove & Turrell who will close the show finishing up by eleven.
Gateshead lads, the band tours the world spreading the word. As any Hoochie
Coochie regular will tell you, Smoove and Turrell know how to party. John
Turrell’s soulful voice has won plaudits from national radio soul DJs and jazz
fans know all about bass maestro Andy Champion. Rugger or not, the Fanzone is
the place to be on Sunday 4 October!
There’s plenty of beer on tap, and for the energetic,
a temporary 3G mini rugby pitch has been laid complete with temporary seating
so that you can give it – rugby – a try (no pun intended). Fairground rides are
now on site with a ferris wheel so big it can be seen from the moon. The
caterers are gearing-up to offer a humble burger to rugby style posh nosh.
You don’t need to be a rugby fan, you don’t need a
ticket, just turn up and party – Sunday October 4.
Russell.
