I heard you on the wireless

We’re on the radio! Well, we will be soon. If you listen to Mat Chorley on BBC Radio 5 Live, Wednesday 01/04/26, 2-4, you might hear us mentioned*.

The programme’s being recorded in the ‘bus**.

Birthday weekend

We’ve a big day this Saturday, with live music from four.

Remember, though, we’re just a little bar, not a music venue.

We’ll have reduced seating for around 27, and some standing room, because we need space for the guys playing.

Of course, for anyone just wanting a drink, we’ve outdoors space if there’s no room in the bar.

Four

It’s hard to believe that four years have passed since the ‘bus opened.

Well, Gateshead, we’re celebrating with our biggest and best ever day of live music.

Saturday from four; rough timings:
16:00 Howlin Matt
17:30 Bad Bob Bates
19:00 Mick Cantwell and Michael Littlefield

There might even be a bit of a collaboration to end the day.

Oh, and it wouldn’t be a birthday without a new birthday cask beer.

Peer Assessment release

Peer Assessment, a wonderful collaboration from Stu Brew and Thirsty Moose, will have its first pour in the ‘bus on Wednesday 25/02/26.

Meet the Stu Brew and Thirsty Moose teams in the bar from seven.

We’re big fans of both breweries, so can’t wait for this!

Wooden cask imperial

For this month’s Dirty Black Weekend, we’ve been lucky enough to get hold of a wooden cask imperial stout from the fabulous guys at Otherworld.

And it’s a big one.

UPDATE: this beer will be ready for December.

DBW4

Our fourth dirty black weekend is happening 20-22/02/26.

We’ve some nice big black beers lined up. And a couple that aren’t exactly black.
