Last weekend is one that will go down in the history books and it's all down to one man, the local hero himself Sam Fender, who gave the city two nights that it will never, ever forget.
When Sam announced that he'd be playing the gigs of his live at the ground of his beloved NUFC, everyone who managed to get their hands on a ticket knew it would be special, but, never in anyone's wildest dreams, did they ever expect the gigs to be quite as incredble as they were.
Every time Sam plays a gig on home turf, you can be guaranteed of an amazing atmosphere, but the buzz around not just St James', but the whole of Newcastle on Friday and Saturday, truly was something else. Tyneside became a shrine to the North Shields lad who has not only done himself immensely proud over the last few years, but has made all of us incredibly proud of him.
