Newcastle United star Dan Burn was among the many capacity crowd at 02 City Hall Newcastle on Tuesday as the Magpies defender went to see another local hero, North Shields’ own Sam Fender.
Having delighted fans with his appearance at the first of Sam’s gigs at the nearby Utilita Arena in April, the big defender was hard to miss once again as he donned, a very appropriate, black and white checked shirt to see the Hypersonic Missiles star play to a much smaller, but by no means less enthusiastic crowd, just up the road.
Many fans tried to get tickets for the gig, which raised money for North East Homelessness, and those who clocked Dan, a vital player in Newcastle’s resurgence since his move from Brighton, sharply had their phones out to take a picture, without infringing on his night.
