Mark Tavender
Originally from London, I've proudly called the North East home for 15 years, settling into the vibrant community of North Shields for the past four. I'm a passionate advocate for local life and firmly believe that music and culture are the essential heartbeat of any thriving community, a philosophy that strongly informs my contributions to I Love North Shields. Now semi-retired and happily married, I cherish the opportunity to share stories that celebrate the unique spirit and rich cultural tapestry of where we live.
