SUMMARY:SUNNISIDE NIGHTS
DESCRIPTION:Sunniside Nights returns on Friday 29 May (from 6pm) – a one-night takeover of live music\, art\, and performance across the city. \nWe’re hosting something special at Pop Recs…   \nRichard Dawson + Jasmine Padgett Family Band   \nRichard brings his singular take on experimental folk to Sunderland – raw\, intricate guitar work and unflinching storytelling. Fresh from touring The End of the Middle and curating his mini-festival at the Barbican\, this is set to be a standout show.   \nPlease note: this is an early show and tickets are now sold out.   \nOutside in our courtyard\, street artist Frank Styles will be painting a mural live across the evening – make sure you catch him while he’s at work.   \nAnd when the gig finishes\, the night doesn’t stop there. Just around the corner at 31 Norfolk Street\, Boundaries present Feral Yon + Yotuns live\, picking things back up with two experimental live sets – perfect if you want to keep going – no tickets required here.   \nPop Recs will come alive again from 10pm\, when local DJ legends Cool for Cats will be stepping things up with the best vinyl-only disco in town seeing us through til the early hours. Again\, you don’t need a ticket\, just call in.   \nAcross Sunniside\, there’s loads happening:   \nWorldwide FM’s Santa Leticia spins globally minded jazz\, funk and disco at Wild Fire City.   \nScott Turnbull brings his surreal\, lo-fi live show Surreally Good to Diego’s. Tickets still available here. \nAndy Martin premieres Tins of Town at Tribeca – handmade photographs using a 19th-century process.   \nBreeze Creatives take over Abject Gallery with two exhibitions\, including the cult Worst Record Covers.   \nSarah Hayes leads an open folk session at The Bridge Hotel Vaults (bring an instrument and join in).   \nPlus spoken word\, Shakespeare remixes\, experimental electronics\, emerging local bands\, a one-night-only food pop-up from Ryan McVay fresh off his stint on Great British Menu\, and plenty more.   \nYou can also get hands-on with screenprinting\, ceramics\, and drop-in workshops across the night.   \nAll events are free. Most are just turn up – a small number require free tickets.   \nFull listings + tickets: sunnisidenights.com   \nCome for one thing\, stay for everything.
