Last night, I was lucky enough to attend Sam Fender's 'sold oot' show at Newcastle's Utilita Arena. The North Shields-born superstar seems to have the world at his feet right now with both critical and commercial success from his latest album and a string of awards.
As a self-confessed Sam Fender fanatic (or Fenderatic?) I had high hopes for this gig. And let me tell you, he did not disappoint. The local legend rocked 11,000 Geordies who came out in their droves to see the 'Seventeen Going Under' star remind everyone why he's the current king of the North.
There were some celebrity guests in the attendance as well with NUFC stars Dan Burn and Kieran Trippier spotted in the audience. Actor Robson Green, who starred in the music video for 'Howdon Aldi Death Queue', was also there.
