What started as a pint-fuelled idea in a North Shields boozer has exploded into one of the North East’s biggest grassroots music events. Meet John “Peasy” Peacock — the bucket-hatted whirlwind behind Coast Fest. From wrangling headliners to dodging cease-and-desist letters from Coachella, Peasy’s turned organised chaos into an art form. We catch up with the man who’s putting North Shields firmly on the music map — one unforgettable weekend at a time.
Behind the unassuming door of a small office in North Shields, a five-strong team is quietly shaping the sound of the UK’s independent music scene. Wipe Out Music, born from the punk roots of the late John Esplen’s Overground Records, stands as a testament to integrity, passion, and personal connection in an increasingly automated industry. From securing TV and film syncs to championing emerging local talent, Matt, Liam, Brent, Pippa, and Bradley embody a fiercely independent spirit that keeps creativity — not commerce — at the heart of their work.
