Michael Chaplin & Harry Pearson – North East Football Stole our Hearts

 Tickets £11/£9

Join Michael Chaplin (Newcastle United Stole My Heart) and Harry Pearson (The Far Corner, The Farther Corner) for an evening of conversation about our region’s football – the highs, the lows and the even lowers. Covering everything from the dribbling skills of Alan Suddick to Chris Waddle’s mullet, via Ron Guthrie’s Norseman lager win bonus and the open-topped gent’s at Dean Street, this event is a must for anyone who can’t hear the name “Jinky” Jim Smith without emitting a wry chuckle.
