Concert thanks our key workers
HUNDREDS of key workers from around the North East enjoyed a special concert last night.
This Is For The NHS was staged at Newcastle’s Exhibition Park ahead of the three-day This Is Tomorrow festival.
Fans were treated to music from Beth Macari, Cruel Hearts Club, The Lightning Seeds and headline act James.
James shot to fame in the 90s with No 1 single Sit Down and they’ve done anything but that over the following years – and this summer they released their 16th studio album, All The Colours of You.
Frontman Tim Booth said ahead of the show: “We are really happy to perform at the NHS benefit gig in Newcastle and would like to thank them for once again putting their lives on the line for all of us.”
