New North Shields craft beer festival announces live entertainment for debut event this February
@ The Salt Market, Fish Quay, North Shields
A brand new craft beer festival celebrating the region’s thriving community of breweries, bars and pubs has announced that the party-starting Americana outfit The Sour Mash Trio will perform at the upcoming event along with various other bands, DJs and entertainers.
Taking place at The Salt Market on North Shields Fish Quay, the festival will be serving up some of the best beer the North East has to offer from the 18th-20th of February.
As the North East Coast’s biggest beer collaboration, the event will bring together the leading lights of the scene, including bars like Left Luggage Rooms, Nord Bottle Shop, Enigma Tap and Front Street Tap who will represent some of the North East’s favourite breweries, including Almasty, Dog and Rabbit, Errant, Flash House, Full Circle, Northern Alchemy, Out There Brewing, Two By Two, and Wylam.
All Pints East organiser and Salt Market Social co-founder Jim Mawdsley, said: “We’re so excited to host our very first craft beer festival at Salt Market Social. We have the best brewers in the North East coming down to North Shields this month, and with the help of The Sour Mash Trio and an amazing line up of DJs, it’s set to be the best celebration of North East craft beer in years.
“Keep your eyes peeled for more announcements in the next few weeks and we’ll see you there for a joyful celebration of the incredible beer that our region has to offer.”
Dave Stone of Wylam Brewery added: “Fresh beer, fresh concept and a fresh location. All Pints East is bringing together a plethora of bottle shops, bars and breweries from across the North East and we’re thrilled to be part of it! See you at the festival.”
The Sour Mash Trio are set to perform on Friday 18th and Saturday 19th of February - the first two days of the festival, belting out 78rpm Roots Rock and Honky Tonk songs about “drinking, loving and losing”. The blues and roots band put their own modern stamp on the music of the 1950s, drawing influence from Sun Records legends Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley to create a high-energy, foot-stomping performance.
DJs will provide the soundtrack to the weekend alongside an array of Street Food stalls. With more DJs and food stalls to be announced, All Pints East is shaping up to be an unmissable event on the North East’s festival calendar.
Joe Guillan of Sour Mash Trio continued: “We can’t think of a better place to perform our music than a craft beer festival. It’s the perfect atmosphere for our energetic, high octane shows. With the help of a couple of pints of beautifully brewed craft beers, you’ll be stomping your feet and clinking glasses in no time.”
All Pints East will take place over 4 sessions which are as follows:
5-11 pm on Friday 18th February,
12-5 pm and 6-11pm on Saturday 19th February
12-5 pm on Sunday 20th February (this session will be free to attend, with stocks expected to be running low.
