The Americana season gets off to a flying start this month at Sage Gateshead with GRAMMY winning singer-songwriter Patty Griffin. More concerts to follow from Frankie Lee, The Lone Bellow, Giant Sand, Tim O’Brien and more.

My Darling Clementine team up with Solihull-born crime and mystery novelist Mark Billingham for ‘The Other Half’ – a new original story by Billingham, inspired by and woven around songs from the duo.
