A Victorian building tucked away in the Ouseburn has been turned into Newcastle's newest music venue which is out to fill a niche in the city.
The Grove has been created by Charlie Dancer and Cole Gilroy, who have been involved with the local music scene for years and they have now transformed what was a former stable block into a music hub with bar, an outdoor courtyard and a terrace with views of the city. And, says Charlie, "it's been absolute graft".
The result of all that hard work, set to be unveiled on March 10, promises to boost the local entertainment scene with its community platform for live music as well as the likes of DJ takeovers, all-day events and other additions such as quizzes, games nights and pop-up food vendors. Musicians Charlie and Cole feel they are connecting with local history too in their choice of venue.
