Suono

We set up in 2004, as a direct response to the 2 a penny bling bling and funky house nights that were strangling the life out of Newcastle's nightlife..Lads with 3 haircuts on one head, dancing to wailing house wasn't really our thing, nor was trance (unless it was the klf played at 33 instead of 45rpm).Our first party was held in the rather splendid art decor building that holds the Tyneside Cinema in July 2004. (those that made it down still talk about it now - and it is one of Greg Wilson's favourite gigs since he returned to dj'ing). After that grand start, we went on to hold parties inThe Cluny (putting on Manchester's hugely influential A Certain Ratio), World Hq (Greg Wilson all night) and The Sage (2020 Soundsystem and Greg Wilson), and a riotous night at the Northumberland Arms with the Idjut Boys and 300 helium balloons. The idea being that each party would use a different venue and keep the vibe fresh!Our Sunday sessions have been held on Tokyo's wonderful rooftop since May 2005, and on Bank Holiday Sundays at the Tanners, one of Newcastle's finest beats and beer bars - just outside the city centre. We've been well and truly graced by the likes of Kelvin Andrews, Moonboots, Ashley Beedle, Danny Webb, Deepdown / Loveboat Crew, Phil Mison, Tadge and funnily enough, Greg Wilson, and been switched onto some lethal music. We always kick off at the ungodly hour of 5pm Sunday Tea Time and usually get kicked out about midnight, which gives us plenty of time to stretch our legs (but more importantly, 7 hours of boozing). More recently we've kindly been asked to do the upstairs room at Error_ where we've brought Phil Mison and Balearic Mike up to Newcastle, to play old disco records to a crowd of young modern house and techno heads.We like to think that we've brought something different to Newcastle over the course of many a lost weekend for a few years, played some weird and wonderful music and hopefully inspired like minded people to get digging through the record bargain bins for lost treasures and drop the bpm, well below 120 while still swaying on the sabbath!! For the future, expect more of the same; the odd party, and Sunday night boozing while listening to great music with weekend warriors, long lost rave casualties and new friends!Suono Sundays are delighted to welcome Balearic Mike for a long overdue appearance at our Bank Holiday shenanigans in The Tanners.Mike was co-compiler of the first "Originals" lp, on Mudd's Claremont 56 label and is the hallowed creator of the legendary "Cosmic Alphonsus" mixes.Years of perfecting a laugh to rival Prince Vultan's, whilst unearthing some amazing records in Manchester's Vinyl Exchange, make Balearic Mike the ideal guest for 7hrs of guzzling and superb music! Join us….it’s free!Bank Holiday Sunday May the 3rd The Tanners, Byker 5 - 12 FREE!!!!g ../>
