SCHOOL SHOWS SPECIAL TICKET PRICES FOR TWO HEAD-LINING SHOWS

This is a special invitation to see two of the headlining shows at the Sugar and Spice Festival. The Sugar and Spice Festival will be a huge, spectacular event for Gateshead, and indeed the whole region and is a dramatic celebration of African and Caribbean culture. There are two schools performances at the Festival site on Mill Road Car Park on the Gateshead Quays.

On Wednesday 10th October 'Mary Seacole (The Opera)' will be performed at 1.00pm by Gyenyame Performing Arts:
Mary Seacole was a remarkable woman; a Jamaican healer who worked in terrible conditions administering emergency medicine to soldiers from soldiers on both sides of the Crimean Battlefield. The work fuses Caribbean musical influences with existing Western operatic traditions, creating an inspiring and innovative piece of theatre.

On Friday 12th October 'On Liberation Street' by Grand Union Orchestra will be performed also at 1.00pm at the Mill Road Venue:
Come and experience the UK's leading exponents of original cross- cultural music; Grand Union Orchestra present 'On Liberation Street'. The massed performance combines the talents of up to 100 North East musicians and singers of all ages performing alongside the orchestra’s own brilliant range of musicians. The result is a glorious mix of musical styles, and a passionate and inspiring performance telling stories of the inspiring struggles of ordinary people against tyrants and warlords.

Tickets for the performances are £1 each, (the evening performances are £10/£8) so it is really is a fantastic offer for you all.
