Interview: Nev Clay
As a child, Nev Clay recalls seeing North Shields as a ‘mystical place.’ Every Saturday, his family would take a diesel train from Benton to visit his paternal grandmother in Chirton Green. He remembers holding his breath through the series of three tunnels between the town and Tynemouth, ‘coming up for air’ in a ‘different realm’ where they would watch Doctor Who, play word games like Lexicon and marvel at a vitrified rock in the garden. Like much of Nev’s work, this story seems to overlay the ordinary with a sense of wonder, or perhaps to discover the wonder that was always there. It’s a quality that’s well in evidence on So Little Happened For So Long, his first album since 2001, released last month, and its centrepiece, ‘Cuddy’s Cave.’
Are you Affiliated?
North Shields is buzzing once again as DJ and producer Man Power (Geoff Kirkwood) follows up his triumphant collaboration with Scottish powerhouse Ewan McVicar by unveiling his next big venture: a brand-new club space inside King Street’s Phoenix House. His rallying cry — “Are you Affiliated?” — has already been met with overwhelming enthusiasm, signalling the arrival of a fresh hub for the region’s grassroots music community.
Eager for an encore: Gala 2024
From the moment the lights rose at the Parks Sports Centre, Gala 2024 revealed itself as something far more than a concert. This ambitious collaboration between the North Shields Opera Chorus, Tête à Tête Opera Company and the Royal Northern Sinfonia brought together professional musicians, community choirs, dancers and local schoolchildren in a powerful celebration of shared creativity. What unfolded was an evening rich with local pride, musical brilliance and a striking sense of togetherness – a reminder of what’s possible when a community comes together to create something extraordinary.
