Thanks to Independent Venue Week’s BIKE scheme we eventually have a bike rack!

Located in our car park at the rear of the building, it has CCTV on it and can take up to 5 bikes. It’s a much needed and highly requested edition to the building 🚴

Cheers! @ivwuk.bsky.social

Some reading for you over your Saturday morning coffee ☕️

@culturednortheast.bsky.social caught up with legendary Yes drummer Bill Bruford who visits GCT next Friday with the incredible Pete Roth Trio. It’s part of @ivwuk.bsky.social as well

The comeback gig which made Bill say Yes
Bill Bruford has drummed for some of the world's biggest progressive rock and jazz bands but this month’s trip to Tyneside never looked likely. Simon Rushworth reports.

Last call for questions before we take the stage tonight at @gosforthcivictheatre.co.uk .

Can be about anything you want, but #NUFC -related seems a sensible plan of attack.
