The roof will be in danger of being lifted off Newcastle's Wylam Brewery this week, when a line-up including Sam Fender's brother Liam, the Brit winner's superbly talented saxophone player Johnny Blue Hat and 90s legends hit the stage for Rock 'n' Raise.
The annual event aims to raise as much money as possible for three fantastic causes: the Teenage Cancer Trust, Cash for Kids North East and the Graham Wylie Foundation and organisers have assembled quite possibly the best line-up to date for 2023.
Over the years the likes of Kodaline and Duran Duran legend Andy Taylor have graced the stage at Wylam Brewery and following in their footsteps on Wednesday, April 12 is a bill of acts that is both excellent and eclectic. Just like brother Sam, Liam Fender has a knack for a fantastic song lyric, showcased on his two single releases to date - Love Will Conquer and Don't Follow Me Down.
