“I began my journey as an independent musician back in 2021 with the release of my debut single”.
Sasha has loved singing and writing songs since she was 8 years old, music has been a lifelong passion “My dad is a big music lover too, so I’d hear all sorts growing up. It started with bands like The Who and then I got introduced to Biggie and Tupac”explained Sasha.
Heavily inspired by R&B, Sasha loves to write in a variety of genres. “I love R&B to its core and that does reflect in the music I create, but I’m inspired to write music through Indie Pop and Folk styles too.”
“When it comes to writing my own music, I’m mostly inspired by artists like Billie Eilish and more recently, Bella Kay. But I love R&B to its core and always feel inspired listening to artists like SZA, Raye and Victoria Monét.”
‘Close Call’ will be Sasha Sky’s 10th released studio single. She was inspired to write this single after events in her life triggered a trauma. The resurfacing of those feelings is what led to the creation of ‘Close Call’.
“I’d really love for this song to reach people who relate to the emotion behind the lyrics. That’s all I’ve ever wanted. And I’m ready to take things further with my music now. I’ve been planning an EP this year and I can’t wait to see how it all comes together.I’m proud of the journey I’ve taken so far, but I’m ready to do so much more.”
Sasha added“I recorded ‘Close Call’ at Heartbreak Studios in North Shields. It was my first time at the studio and I genuinely had the best time. I had the pleasure of working with Andi Anderson who I cannot thank enough for how he helped this song come to life.”
Neville’s music has attracted attention from the BBC and the specialist music press. His debut album The Edge of Destruction established Neville (53) as a distinctive voice in contemporary British music. The critically acclaimed debut featured on this site in July 2023. However,for this post Neville has brought something special from his family history research.
Durham Miners Gala has been a regular date in the working class calendar for over a 100 year. Thousands of people, many with Union flags and miners banners, march through the city on a big day out in July. They commemorate the past while looking forward to a stronger future together. In film footage of the Gala from 1939, Neville recognised one of the marchers…
‘My great-grandfather John Wright Neville is in the 1939 Durham Miners’ Gala film. The film catches him pointing to where the cameraman is standing.’
‘This Gala took place only two months before the outbreak of World War II. Very much the end of an era. He got his nickname ‘Mutt’ because he muttered – an unfortunate legacy of life in the trenches. He’s wearing the standard ‘sunday best’ uniform for working-class men at the Gala. As far as I’m aware no other working man in that film has ever been identified.’
What else did you know about him?
‘He was a boilermaker at Greensfield Locomotive Works in Gateshead. Boilermakers were the elite of the railway world, building and repairing the massive steel steam locomotive boilers needed immense physical strength. Something which clearly helped him to anchor the championship-winning LNER tug-of-war team for 1929, 1930 and 1931.’
‘My grandfather, John Wright’s son, was the seventh of seven boys as was John Wright (and his father) – so 7th son of a 7th son of a 7th son, pretty rare. John Wright’s wife’s name was Ellen. Big families they had then.’
Still image of John Wright Neville from the film of the 1939 Durham Miners Gala.
How did you first come across the footage?
‘When I was Assistant Keeper of Fine Art at Durham University they built the Palatine Centre in 2012 and I was asked to research what was previously on that site, which was the Elvet Colliery.’
‘As well as commissioning a sculpture by the artist Peter Sales to acknowledge the mining heritage of the site I had to find photographs if possible, of the colliery. Not so easy as the colliery closed in 1908, but I believe I found one shot of it derelict.’
‘Looking through archives for images of course the Miners Gala came up. By chance I showed the 1939 film to my father, who identified his grandfather. I was then able to show it to my grandfather (who was in his 90s then) and he confirmed it, and when I got a photograph of my great grandfather he was unmistakable.’
‘So, a million to once chance. The narrative of the rest of my great grandfather’s life reads like the plot of a classic novel. He married into a Romani gypsy family and was disowned by his master-chandler father.’
Where is the film available?
‘I believe it’s held by the NEFA (North East Film Archive). It used to be on YouTube but I think it’s long gone sadly. Luckily, I recorded it at the time and just cut up the bit with John Wright to show my grandfather to confirm his identity.’
What’s next in your family research?
‘I’ve realised in jotting down the information for you that it would be a fascinating thing for me to try to research. The National Railway Museum at York has hard copies of the LNER Magazine (1927-1947). Boilermakers were highly unionized and this information is preserved at the National Archives.‘
‘What would also be interesting would be to identify the Greensfield banner, since railway workers didn’t march with miners’ lodges but behind their own NUR branch banners.’

Bassist Tony introduces the band…
‘We formed in 2017 as a vehicle for original singer Craig Macbeth’s political rants. When Iain and I joined, gigs were arranged despite Craig’s protest as he never wanted to play live – he did learn to enjoy it. But sadly, he died in 2019.’
‘His good friend Fe was asked to step in when the band decided they wanted to carry on. They have been gigging and recording ever since. There have been a few line up changes along the way.’
‘We all have day jobs so our gigs are mainly in the North East, but we have ventured up to Scotland a handful of times as well as playing Blackpool’s Rebellion festival four times, Manchester punk festival in 2024 and Bearded Theory this year.’
‘We try to get out and about as much as our jobs will allow. In March we played Leicester and Northampton and we have other gigs out of town planned.’
What type of audience do the band attract?
’We have a varied audience. We do get the older punks coming to see us but we also have some really young local bands who come to our gigs as well. It’s heartening that all walks of life seem to ‘get us’.
The new track Same Refrain has been released. What is the story behind it?
Tony explained ‘Same Refrain was one of the first songs written for our third album ‘I Choose My Own Way to Burn’ which should be out this summer. The music is nearly three years old and Fe wrote the lyrics soon after.’
‘The song is about my dad receiving a diagnosis for Alzheimer’s and dementia diagnosis and how he now often repeats the same stories.’ said Fe. ‘I was always told how it could be annoying to have to listen to the same things over and over again. I haven’t found it like that, I’m just happy when he is talking and how happy he is when he’s back living those old memories.’
‘It’s a love letter to anyone who is going through the same and to my dad, to let him know I’ll always be here to listen, even if I’ve heard it all before.’
‘My long time friend Gavin Selby wrote, directed, shot and edited the video. Apart from our very first one, he’s done all our videos and we credit him with being part of the Slalom D family now. He really knows what we’re trying to say and he can interpret them perfectly.’
Have you got any gigs planned this summer?
We have dates in June, a few festival dates in July and in August in Newcastle at Trillians then a date in The Globe opening for TV Smith on September 6th. More to be confirmed.’
The album launch is on 12th September at Diego’s in Sunderland.
For more information contact the band on social media.
Punk bands Sanction This, Red London and Slalom D will be playing at Sunderland Museum Vaults on 21 June. The gig is to raise funds to build a community monument to remember the International Brigade Volunteers from Sunderland who fought the rise of fascism during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s.
Slalom D vocalist Fi Duncan talked about how the gig came about…”We’re good friends with Julio, one of the main organisers. He asked us because we’ve always taken a stance against racism and fascism. Especially at a time like this, we all have to stand up for what is right.”
“The International Brigade will always be an inspiration for people wanting to be on the right side of history. It’s an excellent cause, in one of our favourite venues, surrounded by our mates, it’s going to be a great gig”.
Entry is £10 on the door.Museum Vaults, 33 Silksworth Rd, Sunderland SR1
48 year old Simon Taylor is a singer songwriter based in Newcastle.
“But, cliche alert, music seems to make me younger every day – mentally anyway.”
Is music in your family?
Yes, my Grandad played piano beautifully in his council house in Longbenton. Classics like Debussy and Ravel. He was a genius really, he was brilliant at science as well, entirely self-taught.
That musical side was passed on to my Mum who also plays piano. I used to love listening to her play as a young boy, maybe a connection was made right back then. On my father’s side my Gran sung at Hexham Abbey and I notice I probably get a bit of my voice from her when I go into my falsetto – er not very often.
Finally, my brother has taken after my Mum and Grandad and is a very well-regarded classical/ jazz piano improviser who plays concerts at venues across the UK and also in Europe. A much more skilled musician than me.
When was the first time you picked up a guitar?
I really got the idea of playing guitar at the age of nineteen when I was on holiday in Benidorm with my girlfriend of the time. I saw a flamenco teacher in a little plaza teaching a student and the image absolutely resonated with me and practically stopped me in my tracks.
I must have decided not long after to learn guitar because I got my first acoustic for my birthday two months later. It might well have been my ex-girlfriend’s lovely father who bought it – I forget. He gave me some early lessons anyway.
I kind of messed about with it for a couple of years from the age of 20 but then it was leaning against the wall of my bedroom for two years, untouched. The decision to then pick it up again at the age of 24 was one of the best I ever made. Almost immediately I realised I could compose melodies and that was how the whole songwriting thing started for me.
What studios have you used or do you record at home?
I have recorded at home, (I made two e.ps around Covid times this way), but decided I was probably better off personally working with a skilled producer on my projects in future. Recently these have included Lisa Murphy and John Martindale at Blank Studios and Ziad Jabero at Chilli Studios. I absolutely love recording and have also recorded at Loft Music Studios in Newcastle and the Old Church Studios in Thropton, Northumberland which were both also excellent.
What is your latest release?
I’m releasing a single whose title is inspired by my recent difficult domestic troubles called Bad Vibes Boulevard. A curator described it recently as ‘alt-pop’, maybe it is, I don’t know. I recorded it with Ziad Jabero at Chilli Studios he also played electric and 12 string guitar on it so I was very lucky to have his assistance there. It’s out on Wednesday 1st July.
When are your next gigs?
I have a couple of gigs coming up but they may have passed by the time this goes to press. The next one after that is an exciting one for me as it will be my first gig with a band performing my music in over eight years. It hasn’t been announced yet so I’d better keep schtum but we’ve been rehearsing at First Avenue Studios and are close to ready for that.
It’s been very gratifying to hear my songs live with added instrumentation as most of them were designed to be performed so we’ll see where that particular avenue of my life leads.
In 2022 vocalist Paul Woods and multi-instrumentalist David Brewis released Autoleisureland’s debut album ‘Infiniti Drive’ – now they are ready to release their second album ‘New Road Movie’.
Paul explained“I guess our hopes for the album are just to reach a wider audience. We’re building a little bit of a community of listeners through Last Night From Glasgow, also having a number 1 on Mike Read’s Heritage Radio with our single ‘All the World Over’ has helped too. We’re just getting our music and name out there and then see what happens.”
Back in the 80s David and Paul were founding members of chart regulars The Kane Gang who formed in Seaham, County Durham in 1982 and signed to Kitchenware & London record labels.
Alongside vocalist Martin Brammer, the group racked up UK and European hits including Closest Thing To Heaven,Respect Yourself and Gun Law. They also scored a US pop hit with Motortown and a US dance No.1 with Don’t Look Any Further. And still spinning in 2026 the debut album released in 1985 ‘The Bad and Lowdown World of The Kane Gang’.
“Martin is busy with us in The Kane Gang. That’s the other great thing happening for us” said Paul. “In the last year or so the KG played two shows at Sunderland’s Fire Station, and at Dingwalls, London, and St Luke’s, Glasgow, aided and abetted by Field Music, We’re also writing and recording a new album with Field Music that we are a good way into. It’s all good”
Autoleisureland’s new release ‘New Road Movie’ is packed with effortless vocals by Paul Woods blended with David Brewis’ deep pop sounds and hooky tunes all wrapped up in an eazy-breezy West Coast feel. Are there any plans to take it out on the road?
Paul added “At the moment we have no plans to play live. We want to concentrate on writing and recording as many albums as we can. Things can change though.”
The 11 track album is released by Last Night From Glasgow on Transparent Amber vinyl, Transparent Red vinyl, CD & digital formats on 15 May 2026.
Apprentice steelworkers and musicians Steve Thompson and Robin Hird formed Bullfrog in 1969. Being a Consett band their first ever gig was in The Freemasons Ballroom. Reportedly a wild west of a venue! Bullfrog played all over the North East gaining a huge following, and supporting big names including The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Hot Chocolate and Wishbone Ash.
Bullfrog finally attained the holy grail of a record deal but sadly failed to turn North East popularity into global stardom.
Steve(bass) takes up the story …“Ultimately, we had two record deals on offer from EMI and Cube.After a few years slogging around pubs and clubs in the North East we decided we needed to cut some demos and go after a record deal. So off we went to Multicord studios in Sunderland and laid down our entire repertoire of original songs.”
“We had also come second in a national competition and the prize was a recording audition at EMI Studios. EMI liked the recordings and started discussing a deal. Then we heard from Cube. They liked the demos we had sent and wanted to come see us at a live gig.”
“They came to Wingate Constitutional Club. It couldn’t have worked out better. They were swinging from the rafters and the band weregoing down great. Girls were banging on the dressing room door desperate to ravage our young bodies.”
“The Cube dudes were impressed and wanted to sign us there and then. We mentioned the interest from EMI. They said at EMI we would just be a small fish in a big pool. Come with us, they said, we’re smaller and can give you individual attention. They convinced us and we agreed to sign.”
“In due course we were booked into Island Records’ Basing Street studios. Many of our heroes had recorded there so it was quite exciting. Our producer was Roger Bain who had produced Black Sabbath of whom we were fans so another plus. Roger’s mate came along for the sessions, a guy called Gus Dudgeon with whom I was to work with several years later. Unfortunately, we made a string of dumb moves.”
“Dumb move one – we wrote a joke song called ‘Ridley Tiddly Tum’. Dumb move number two – we made a demo recording of the joke song. Dumb move number three – we played it to the record company. They declared it would be a massive hit and it was to be our first single. We were horrified but we couldn’t talk them out of it. But they were wrong it wasn’t a massive hit.”
“On reflection something else we did was probably a dumb move too. When you’re young you have a huge propensity for doing dumb things. We declared the single was a double A side and at every opportunity we promoted the actual B side a song called ‘In The City.”
“We did a film for BBC’s Look North driving around Newcastle in an open top car with ‘In The City’ blasting out. At every opportunity and interview we promoted the B side of the single. Our record company must’ve loved this. And so, it wasn’t to be and finally the band broke up in 1974.”
Steve then decided to concentrate on songwriting which led him to Wallsend’s Impulse Studios as House producer and eventually the legendary Neat Records who were responsible for launching the big four North East rock bands – Fist, Venom, Raven and Tygers of Pan Tang.
Steve explains his new project “It’s been over 50 years since Bullfrog’s first gig with 50 being a magic number in the music business. It’s the amount of years that must pass before recordings drop out of copyright. So finally, Bullfrog are free of that ill fated record deal so I’ve dug out the old master tapes and dusted them off”.
Steve added “These remixes of our 1972 demo tapes have been assisted by AI and I’ll own up to a small number of 2025 overdubs. The band now sounds how it would have done if modern day recording studios had been available when we first cut the demo tapes. And now you can enjoy the songs too – 50 Years On”
Bullfrog 50 Years On is available on 12 inch Vinyl album and a CD (with bonus tracks). You can hear previews of the songs and purchase your copy here >>>
John Foottit was born and bred in York in 1960 and now lives in Darlington with his wife Sandra.
I have been in Darlington for about 30 years.
Is music in the family?
There is no musical history in my family so I am not sure where it has come from. I had a couple of toy guitars as a kid and apparently my mother said I used to play nursery rhymes on one string.
Who were your influences?
Back in the day I loved Hank Marvin and the Shadows and I wanted to play guitar. I broke my ankle at 14 and I asked my mother for a guitar. That was it. The bug was there and I started to learn. I’m self taught and practice for hours. No instructional videos, dvd’s, YouTube etc it’s all by ear and books.
When I started an apprenticeship at 16, I was getting into early Queen, Thin Lizzy, Priest. I was lent an album by UFO featuring Michael Schenker. That was when serious practicing started.
When were your first gigs?
I was in my first gigging band at about 18. Nerve Senta we were called. We just played local gigs in York which had a good music scene back in the day.
I have been in some quite successful bands throughout the years with lots of material on YouTube. Mai Rouge, Change of Heart, Chrome Molly and my own instrumental album called ‘Equilibrium’. It is very influenced by my guitar hero’s Michael Schenker, John Petrucci, Joe Satriani, Randy Rhodes and George Lynch.
How did the job with the Tygers come about?
The Tygers job came through knowing Huw (Holding) the bass player who I’ve known a few years. We play in a covers band together and one evening he asked me if I was interested in a guitar position that had become available with the Tygers. I knew a few of the band already through gigging and festivals. They knew me and knew I could play so there was no audition as such. We met and it was mainly about how we would get on as people working and travelling together.
What’s next for the Tygers?
The new album is recorded and the first single comes out on May 4th. It’s titled Electrifyed. As is the album. The album was recorded remotely, due to the logistics of the band being so far apart. Some was recorded in Italy, the Netherlands and back home in the North East. It was completed at Christmas.
The songs were pretty much written prior to me joining but I played all the rhythm guitar parts along with Robb (Weir) and 80% of the leads were mine.
It’s a bit heavier than a lot of the albums but is full of catchy hook lines and still has the character of a Tyger’s song. I think it will be received well by the Tyger’s fans. The people that have heard it really like the single Electrifyed. Did I say it is due out on 4th May!
Any gigs lined up this year?
We have just completed a four day Spanish tour supporting FM. It went really well and I’m starting to bed in with the rest of the band now.
We have three UK shows coming up this week. Shows in Europe for the festival season are arranged and we have a South American tour at the end of May for 10 days.
Where were you in the latter half of the 70s? New Rose by the Damned was the first single released by an English punk band, Monty Pythons Flying Circus became as big an influence on TV comedy than The Beatles had on music and before the end of the decade audiences were exposed to their surreal comedy film ‘The Life of Brian’. Sadly, millions mourned across the world as 1977 claimed the life of Elvis Presley.
However, here in South Shields also in 77, boxing’s Heavyweight champion of the world Muhammad Ali visited the town to have his wedding blessed at Laygate Mosque. And legendary punk band Angelic Upstarts formed and within a few year appeared on Top of the Pops and toured the USA. Before making it they gigged at the Bolingbroke Hall in the town. Another crew who played in that hall were The Borestiffers.
Who were The Borestiffers? The Borestiffers featured an early Wavis O’Shave he of later musical fame and appearances on live TV music show The Tube, other members included Heedfuzz, Braddy, Teddy Anteater and John ‘Fig Roll’ Davies who would rarely turn up. February this year was the 50th anniversary of that notorious gig played in front of several rival gangs of the town.
A surreal non-musical skiff-lish group playing empty suitcases, sooty guitars, bullworkers and even a kitchen sink, The Borestiffers in total recorded two cassette albums, played four gigs in South Shields, three at Bolingbroke in 76 and one at The People’s Palace in 77.But it was the initial gig that ended in a riot that remains in folklore memory.
Heedfuzz, Wavis, Braddy & Teddy.
I hear you had some trouble during your Bolingbroke rehearsal?
WAVIS: Two of hardest men in the town used to work out in the gym there and when they heard us making such a racket they turned up to see what was happening. All of the band went deadly silent and I had to explain. When they asked how much we charged admission I told them, a slice of bread, hard boiled egg or a stick of celery.
HEEDFUZZ: They wanted to sit in on the rehearsal of the first piece of our noise. Once we finished, they silently returned to the gym.
Who and how many turned up – any local ‘celebs’ of the town?
WAVIS: There was a fair turn out from about four different rival town gangs – Whiteleas, Biddick Hall, the Nook and Westoe.
BIG PHIL: There were about twenty members of the Whiteleas Estate Aggro Boys – most of them didn’t have a clue what to expect. I knew it was going to be nuts but the idea of trouble wasn’t in my mind, we were a well-known gang of lads who stood together in times of trouble.
HEEDFUZZ: About 50 or so attendees from various parts of the town. Turf warfare was a common practice during the 70s.
Teddy, Braddy & Heedfuzz
What songs were on the set list?
WAVIS: Most I recall were from the first Borestiffers cassette album ‘Black Shoes and Mongooses’ like Rubber Song where we dropped the stylus onto the rubber turntable and chanted ‘Rubber song’. Three different songs about shoes, one making it to my ‘Anna Ford’s Bum’ album, also Josepheener Tursepheeners with accompanied customised absurd dance.
HEEDFUZZ: We also did The Seven Puppets of Corbett – spoofing the Queen hit, and it was about The Sooty Show. Intro music was the Can Can followed by a loud recording of an outside back yard toilet flushing where we entered the stage, wandered round like lost souls, and then re-entered again.
Can you remember how you were dressed?
WAVIS: I had a Subbuteo floodlight strapped on my head and played a Sooty guitar.
HEEDFUZZ: I had a top hat with a child’s pink telephone attached around the rim with elastic bands, and a tailcoat.
BIG PHIL: The gig itself was so surreal many of the lads just couldn’t cope with what they had witnessed – the weird outfits, the fact that the group couldn’t play. I was in heaven.
On the night was there a compere?
WAVIS; Nope, we had no one to spare but I doubt anyone would offer if we did, but we did have member of the Sunderland Hells Angels on the door as a bouncer who in later life featured on various TV shows as Martial arts instructor. His jacket was padded out with multiple parts of a lathe.
HEEDFUZZ: Spike Milligan would have been superb but he had earlier wrote to Wavis declining an invite to manage us thinking we were musical.
Heedfuzz, Braddy, Wavis & Teddy. pic taken in the famous South Shields landmark The Westoe Netty.
Why did you choose to play Bolingbroke Hall?
WAVIS: I had to tell the owners that we wanted it for a poetry recital otherwise I doubt they’d have given it us. Eight quid it cost. I thought it was the perfect size venue for an expected sizeable gathering and if there were any trouble which I’d predicted, they’d be plenty of space for people to fight! It inspired the Angelic Upstarts to book the place.
HEEDFUZZ: It was a suitable size and ideally situated in the centre of town ideal for public transport.
BIG PHIL: At the end it all erupted, and the place got trashed in unison by all the gangs there. On the way home everyone was laughing in bewilderment. We knew we had witnessed something out of the ordinary but most couldn’t grasp what! I was a bit upset about the mini riot but over the moon that I had witnessed so much absurdity in such a short space of time.
HEEDFUZZ: On the way to the show I met a kid who was going and he opened his wallet to prove he had a ticket as well as a slice of bread in there asking if it was really needed. I told him it was a charity gig for the Marine Park wildlife.
In the 1980s Alan was guitarist and songwriter in Newcastle bands Loud Guitars and White Heat – who signed to Virgin records and recorded one album.
For the past 10 years he has toured as a session musician with American singer-songwriter Jesse Terry. He has also produced a number of recordings as The Attention Seekers.
‘The Attention Seekers were formed around 1999, our first album was released in 2002 since then we have released six albums and a seventh is in the final stages.’
‘I am very fortunate in the fact that over the years I have built up a relationship with a number of radio stations in the UK, and USA. I measure the success of my releases by the number of plays they attract. It’s always a thrill to hear one of my songs on the radio like Seven Bridges, The Prudhoe Song, The Girl With The JukeboxMind and Sweet Anna Brown.’
In the 1970s Subbuteo teams and pop singles was what I spent my pocket money on. The first singles I bought were Elected and Hello Hurray by Alice Cooper plus Sweet and Slade who were always on Top of the Pops.
‘Good choices. I was a big fan of Alice Cooper. I discovered them on Old Grey Whistle Test performing Under MyWheels. The album ‘Killer’ is a classic. Slade finally won me over with How Does it Feel – a brilliant song.’
‘Examples of perfect pop singles would be All The YoungDudes – Mott The Hoople, When You Are a King – White Plains, Virginia Plain – Roxy Music, Fire – The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown and Waterloo Sunset – The Kinks. My first single was Woodstock by Mathew’s Southern Comfort. To this day it still sounds perfectly crafted.’
Tony Davis & Sam Blewitt,Cluny Studios, Newcastle.
‘In my opinion the three minute pop song is the ultimate art form. This feeds directly into the way I write and record. The flexibility of The Attention Seekers is the perfect vehicle for me to explore this concept. In the studio the song will dictate the line up.’
‘My ‘go to’ musicians include Trevor Brewis, Tony Davis, Sam Blewitt, Jesse Terry, Romaana Shakir, and Niles Krieger. I would definitely feel compromised if I had to use a conventional ‘rigid’ band line up.’
Trevor Brewis, Cluny Studios, Newcastle.
What have you got planned for this year?
‘I am presently in the final stages of completing a new Attention Seekers album, I have recording sessions booked for the end of April. Tony Davis’s Cluny Studio is my studio of choice. I am also working with ’The City Of Newcastle Male Voice Choir’ developing a choral version of ’Seven Bridges’.
‘Recently the choir invited me to play a guest spot at one of their concerts. I enjoyed the challenge of performing ’stripped back’ versions of my songs, and the impact of the choir adding their voices to the choruses was an experience I’m keen to repeat.’
