The Geordie Hunt Saboteurs are a North East group established to expose illegal fox hunting and other blood sports. The Sabs use non-violent direct action to prevent wildlife from cruelty. Rosie Brock from the Geordie Hunt Sabs got in touch…

‘There are nine hunts in Northumberland who hunt on a Wednesday and Saturday in places like Tyne Valley, Tynedale and Morpeth. We try to get to them all’

‘On these hunts are terrier men who come out on their quadbikes. They bully us, harass us, block us in – tactics like that. They call us vile horrible names – especially the girls. I’ve put up with it for years it just goes over my head now.’

To support the work of the Sabs a gig has been arranged in Newcastle featuring three face peeling punk bands. Rosie added…

‘We have joined up with North East Cosmic Circus to put a night of punk on at Trillians Newcastle. Three bands will be playing for the crowd. The incredible Anti-System are travelling in from Poland to support our cause plus the political Active Minds from Scarborough and Durham’s noisy Bastard Face. All bands are playing this benefit gig and proceeds will go towards the Saboteurs costs.’

‘All the money that we raise goes towards keeping us on the road, we need petrol and paying for repairs after tyres are slashed and windows broken.’

NECC presents Geordie Hunt Sabs at Newcastle Trillians on Sunday April 12^th 2026. Doors open 6.30pm. £10 entry.
