A popular Newcastle drag artist has confirmed the closure of a city centre gay bar "with a heavy heart" saying this week will be the last chance for customers to party.
Eazy Street in Westmoreland Road will shut its doors for good on Sunday and regular perfomer Miss Lucy, who credits the bar with shaping her career, says that the Easter weekend will be a final chance for its fans and staff to say goodbye. And in a moving post on Facebook, she thanked management and customers for their support over the years at the cabaret and trebles bar which has proved a hit since it opened on the gay scene in the former home of Camp David, next to The Dog & Parrot pub.
Miss Lucy wrote: "The past 13 years have been an amazing 13 years. I started a month after it opened and will be there when it closes the doors for the final time.
