A Family-Friendly Affair with Sci-Fi Flair
On April 21st, Blues Harvest made their debut performance in Newcastle at the renowned venue, The Cluny. This early evening gig started at 3pm, creating a perfect opportunity for families to join in the fun. Geeks of all ages gathered to experience our unique blend of classic film and TV-themed music, transforming the venue into a vibrant hub of sci-fi and rock ‘n’ roll.
A Show Filled with Surprises
The event kicked off with an incredibly entertaining ‘Back to the Future’ parody puppet show by Pop-up Puppet Cinema. Their hilarious take on the classic sci-fi film set a lighthearted and whimsical tone for the evening, delighting both the young and the young at heart. The North East Legion UK brought the spirit of the galaxy far, far away right to The Cluny, with stormtroopers, imperial officers, and mandalorians enhancing the atmosphere and adding an authentic Star Wars vibe to the venue.
A Set to Remember
Blues Harvest took the stage with an explosive energy that resonated through the venue. Our 90-minute set was packed with fan-favorite anthems, from the soaring melodies of “STAR WARS” and “CANTINA BAND” to rock classics like “IMMIGRANT SONG” and “BAT OUT OF HELL.” The mix of themes kept the crowd engaged and singing along, with highlights including the adventurous “WILD WILD WEST,” the nostalgic “THUNDERCATS,” and the ever-popular “GHOSTBUSTERS.”
Warm Reception and Positive Vibes
Our first show in Newcastle was met with tremendous enthusiasm and positive feedback from the audience. The inclusive, family-friendly timing allowed fans of all ages to enjoy the live music experience together, making it a memorable day for everyone involved. The Cluny, with its great acoustics and welcoming atmosphere, proved to be the perfect setting for our blend of music and geek culture.
Looking Back on a Fantastic Night
As we look back on that fantastic evening, we are filled with gratitude for the warm welcome we received in Newcastle. The success of this event has only fueled our passion for bringing people together through the power of music and shared love for sci-fi and pop culture. A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support us, to Pop-up Puppet Cinema for setting the stage with their creativity, and to the North East Legion UK for adding that extra touch of magic to our show.
