An evening 'caper' event in the city has a new signing, in the form of ex-Newcastle United star Lee Clark.
The former player and Toon legend is the latest surprise guest announced for the Great Market Caper which will serving up a new programme of entertainment and food and drink pop-ups on December 3. The festive edition of the after-hours event held in Newcastle's Grainger Market has enlisted Clark - who was a key member of Kevin Keegan’s Entertainers - to host the night's Great Christmas Caper Quiz.
And he can't wait. “I am really looking forward a great night at The Caper," he said. "Hosting the Caper quiz will be a bit of light-hearted fun but, with the bragging rights that come with victory, I’m sure there’ll be a fair bit of competition to win too.”
