Part 4: Investigating Sunderlandās secret music festival @hugeweekend
I received a message directing me to a location in the city for answers. Hereās what happened
#sunderland #michaelrun #berwickorjesmond
10 years ago (gone Christmas) me and my pal Sean Tate put out this compilation CD of some of our favourite local bands. Recognise any? Good to benchmark different eras of the music scene with things like this, especially as some of the players in these bands are still going! Shoutout @wearsidejacka@mickyygall@benedicthawkin@marcbirdmusic@weareholybraille@lewiscooke93@watchy1610
