This week in the Schooner:

Wednesday – the world famous Schooner quiz. We’ve been full to capacity the past couple of weeks, so we’d advise booking a table fast!

Thursday – Schooner buskers hosted by the amazing Mr Tom Atkinson. We’ve an added competition too – come along to play and have a chance to win £500. And a gig at the Schooner. See our Facebook page for more details. Or just come along to enjoy good music.

Friday – The Sound Divide, a fantastic band with material from the Foo Fighters, Del Amitri, Springsteen, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, AC/DC and much more. This is something you won’t want to miss.

Saturday – Blakk Sabbath, easily the best Sabbath tribute band in the Northeast. An astounding band.

Sunday – We end the week with an acoustic set from Rhys Breen. This guy’s pretty damn good.

We’re proud to be able to say that live music is returning to the Schooner.

We’ve some limitations due to the current situation; gigs will be socially distanced, indoors and not exactly loud, but they’re back!

Saturday 12th – CMS Presents

Sunday 13th – Rhys Breen, 6:00; Wallsend’s finest. Expect the best covers and a great night. Oh, and some fantastic original material too. We were chuffed to have had him booked for December 2020, but the second national lockdown messed that up.

While we’ve still important rules to follow to keep everyone safe, some things are happening in the Schooner this week.

Wednesday 26th @7 – the world famous Schooner quiz. Hosted by the fabulous Chris McGeary, this quiz has a reputation for fun. Chris doesn’t use a book or web page to pull together his questions; he does his own research. His spare room wallpaper is well known after his online lockdown quiz; we’ve been trying to buy some.

Thursday 26th @8 – the return of the Schooner Buskers’ night. Now hosted by the exceptional Mr Tom Atkinson. Come along if you’d like to take part, or just want to listen to some talented people.

Sunday 30th @6 – DJ Dean Paul Walton. It really is possible to enjoy some great music while seated and socially distanced. And, if you know Dean, you’ll know how good an end to a Bank Holiday Sunday this will be.

Bank Holiday Monday @5 – A chilled acoustic set from Acoustic Outlaw Ian Cockburn. Expect a huge range of great covers – Ian plays pretty much every song you’ll know.
