Gary Barlow immediately ingratiated himself to his Geordie fans as he brings his A Different Stage shows to the city, by making a Newcastle Brown Ale inspired post on social media as he headed to Tyneside on Monday.
The Take That star and award-winning songwriter has stripped things back for his latest venture, which sees him take over smaller venues, to the packed out arenas and stadiums he's used to, turning the clock back to how his illustrious career in music started and playing a plethora of Take That classics as well as a few surprise covers.
Many fans who've been to see the show in the likes of Salford and Liverpool, have stayed rather tight-lipped on the setlist and what actually happens in the show, for fearing of spoiling things for any others who've got tickets and on Monday night, it will finally be time for Newcastle audiences to get in on the A Different Stage action.
