All Monies Raised Will Go To The Morpeth Lions Flood Appeal
On the weekend of 6th and 7th September, Morpeth saw some of the worst flooding for 100 years, causing devastation in the town and surrounding areas. Almost 1000 homes were seriously affected - many people lost most of their possessions - and it will be many months before they can return to their homes. Riverstorm has been organised to raise money for the Flood Appeal launched by Morpeth Lions which aims to provide practical support in the difficult months to come.
The Bands
55 Degrees
This hugely popular charity Rock band is made up of senior business people from the North East who enjoy playing classic covers ranging from The Police to Rolling Stones, Kaiser Chiefs to Beatles and David Gray to Bryan Adams. Their mission is to raise awareness and funds for various North East charities. They are an enthusiastic 7 piece rock band who always entertain and fill the dancefloor wherever they play.
Straightshooter
Hailed as one of the best North East Northumberland and Borders rock bands for years, Straightshooter join us with a new line up and with a harder and more brutal sound, with updated material including the likes of Megadeath, Iron Maiden, AC/DC and Metallica.
The Honest Johns
The Honest Johns return to the City Hall hard on the heels of the release of their highly acclaimed album "Songwriters of the North". Described as "a fantastic album from a brilliant pop band" (NARC) and "recalling early R.E.M., The Beautiful South and the Proclaimers" (THE CRACK) the Honest Johns also pack a punch live – "a truly heart-warming experience, I guarantee" (THE EVENING CHRONICLE). The Honest Johns will be playing tracks old and new from their extensive repertoire of original material.
The Mosaics
The Mosaics, an upcoming indie rock band combining wistful melodies with haunting guitar soundscapes. Making a lot of noise on the UK circuit, this foursome never fail to leave a lasting impression.
