The Old Forge hosts (fairly) regular nights of excellent live music. The old forge lends itself to an intimate atmosphere creating wonderful acoustics. The evening events are a byob policy but tea/coffee, soft drinks and cake will be on sale too. Stanley Street food will also be on hand serving up a tasty dish prior to the event.
NEXT GIG, BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND……
JINSKI – Saturday 19th Oct, 7pm £9.
This wonderful and very popular Newcastle Upon Tyne duo return to the Old Forge to perform original songs that are some of the catchiest and tuneful you’re likely to hear. With music that touches the borders of folk, country and pop while remaining resolutely modern, they are also a terrific and highly entertaining live act. http://www.jinski.com
