A music promoter has recalled the time German Eurovision act Lord of the Lost rocked Newcastle, proving such a success that they were quick to return to kick-off a new UK tour from the city.
The dark rock-industrial metal band, representing Germany at the international song contest in Liverpool, first played to a Geordie crowd in 2017 when they went down a storm. Back then the band, fronted by Chris Harms, were supporting fellow metal group KMFDM and were not well known over here. But they made such an impression that their new fans could not wait to welcome them when they came back the next year on what was their first UK headline tour.
Both Newcastle shows - the first at Think Tank and the next at The Cluny - were promoted by Kev Morris who well remembers the impact they made. He also remembers the band as professional musicians and "great guys - with a good sense of humour and really easy to work with".
