“REINVENTING THE BIG BAND…” - Jazzwise Magazine
After 14 amazing years of spreading festive cheer, we decided it’s time to up the ante for our milestone 15th year!
For Christmas 2025 we’re moving to the iconic O2 City Hall Newcastle for a truly spectacular festive show with all the trimmings you could possibly wish for.
Get ready to be dazzled by Michael Lamb’s Strictly Smokin’ Big Band and the sensational Alice Grace, joined by a specially curated orchestra led by the renowned Bradley Creswick from Northern Sinfonia and The John Wilson Orchestra. They’ll be performing brand-new music from Stuart Mclean-Fowler, with a few extra surprises sprinkled in to keep you on your toes!
Every year these shows have sold out, but the big question is: Can we fill the City Hall? We’re ready to find out, and we hope you’ll join us!
We’re also proud to announce that this year, we’re supporting Mind Tyneside and Northumberland. We’ll be collecting donations at the show to help make a difference during the festive season.
It’s going to be a Christmas to remember—don’t miss out!
