DJ favourite Ace will be heading up an R&B party in Newcastle this November when the BBC Radio 1Xtra heads north to spotlight local talent.
The star - who won a Sony Gold award with fellow DJ and TV presenter Vis - for their lunchtime garage and hip hop radio show in 2004 on the-then new digital radio station will be showcasing unsigned R&B talent during a UK-wide tour. And this will bring him to The Lubber Fiend in the city November 1.
The local talent in the spotlight at the music venue in Newcastle's Blandford Street will be singer-songwriter Maxine. The up-and-coming rhythm and blues and soul artist released her first single, Frontline, in honour of frontline workers, during the pandemic and describes herself a 'big town girl making it out of a small town'.
