Geordie singer songwriter Andrew Cushin will break off from recording his eagerly anticipated new album with Noel Gallagher to play a special Carabao Cup final gig in Newcastle in Sunday.
But admits the moment he puts his guitar down, he will be more nervous about Newcastle United's Wembley encounter with Manchester United. Cushin's rise in the music world comes at a moment in time in which the Magpies are again flying high.
Cushin is following in the footsteps of giants with his new album being produced at legendary Welsh recording studios Rockfield where Oasis recorded (What's The Story) Morning Glory? and Queen recorded Bohemian Rhapsody. For now though it is very much about entertaining a crowd of around 1,500 at Northumbria Domain ahead of Wembley.
