Scottish duo The Proclaimers are gonna be making a trip to the North East this July to kick off a popular summer festival.
The enduring favourites - who are best known for eighties hits such as Letter from America, I’m Gonna Be (500 miles) and Let’s Get Married - have been announced as the opening act of Mouth of the Tyne Festival. They are to perform at Tynemouth Priory and Castle on July 6.
North Tyneside Council, which organises the festival, says musician twins Craig and Charlie Reid, whose award-winning success over the decades has taken them around the world, have added the special date to their summer tour and tickets for it will go on sale this Friday.
