Theatre is life. It shows us how to live. How to learn. How to love and even sometimes how to feel. It opens our heart to a better place. We need to support theatre now more than ever. Fight the fight. Stu 🎭x
Astronaut Jeremy Hansen shared some words of advice for the younger generation watching the Artemis II crew on their historic mission around the moon.
"Humanity needs those contributions," he said. "So just get after it."
We want more creative jobs in the North East.
So, we’re investing £2m to open a new @NewWritingNorth Centre for Writing and Publishing in the North East in the Old Post Office building in Newcastle.
For too long, talented people in these industries had to to go London to succeed. I have promised to fix that.
With this investment we’re a step closer to writers, publishers and creatives having the home they need to tell the our story and tell it here.
Very sad to hear Neil Sedaka has left the stage. He wrote so many wonderful songs such as Laughter in the Rain, The Hungry Years, Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, Solitaire, Love Will Keep Us Together, Oh! Carol & Calendar Girl. A terrific performer, influence & great loss. RIP X Stu x
Very sad to hear that Chris Rea has died. A great north eastern singer/songwriter & blues man. A superb guitarist, with an unmistakable voice. He wrote so many classy pop hits including Fool (If You Think it’s Over), On The Beach, Road to Hell & Driving Home For Christmas. RIP

It’s a privilege to be able to write new musicals and something I never take for granted. Nothing is more exciting than to be able to give new talent a brand new song and watching them shine. 🎭
I was thrilled & very proud that the legendary Tim Rice came over to the National Opera House in Wexford, Ireland to introduce my musical ‘Irish Affair’ on the main O’ Reilly stage. It was fab to see Tim before (see pic) & then catch up after the show! Stu🎼x ☘️

@JohnSimpsonNews It would be fitting if we had a statue of the composer George Ridley (born in Gateshead) in Newcastle. Or even a local theatre named after him?
‘We went to Blaydon Races, ’twas on the 9th of June, Eighteen hundred and sixty-two, on a summer’s afternoon…’. Happy 163rd anniversary of your anthem, Geordies!
