Tunde Baiyewu has been confirmed to be on the bill for an upcoming concert in Newcastle after his decision to go solo forced the Lighthouse Family to cancel their planned appearance at Mouth of the Tyne this weekend.
With the multi-platinum selling band having been formed when Tunde and keyboard player Paul Tucker were both studying at university in Newcastle and working in the same bar, there was great interest in their return to home turf for the Tynemouth festival, with every ticket for the concert snapped up.
However, with just a month to go, Paul took to social media to share his 'heartbreak' at them going their separate ways and having to cancel Mouth of the Tyne, citing Tunde's keenness to focus on solo ventures as the reason. Apologising to fans, Paul wrote: "I’m so sorry that this means that our headline show at Mouth Of The Tyne Festival on 9th July is now cancelled.
