Can you hear shapes, colours and textures? Join Chalk for an online session exploring what sounds might look like. Led by Chalk Associate Artist, Josie Brookes, this fun playful session will see you draw, stick and create art to some cracking music which celebrates Summer Streets performers past and present. Make your pencil go wild, investigate loud and quiet sounds and think about the colours of an orchestra. In this step by step family workshop you'll create a series of artworks which you can share online. So grab your pencils, paper, some recycled materials and let's experiment! More information on Josie Brookes: Josie is a freelance Illustrator based in Newcastle upon Tyne, North East England. She specialises in editorial illustration, with a focus on colour experimentation, collage and print making techniques.

The session is most suitable for children aged 6+ and their grown ups, but everyone is welcome to take part and experiment! As with all Chalk events, we’d encourage parents and carers to take part alongside their children.

When you look back at 2020, what will you remember about your lockdown walks? When all you were allowed were the streets outside your front door, what did you find on your doorstep that was beautiful, interesting, surprising or a comfort? Poet Kirsten Luckins would like to speak with you to find out more about the routes you took, and what you saw along the way. She will transform those conversations into unique pocket-sized poetry-collage zines, and post them out as a memento of #YourSummerStreets and a celebration of Sunderland's streets. Check out the gallery above featuring artwork from the Zines that Kirsten has created for Summer Streets here, along with submissions we receive from those following along at home - don’t forget to use the #YourSummerStreets hashtag when you post your creations to your social media pages! https://www.summerstreetsfestival.com/bridie-jackson daily 0.75 2020-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1595579829510-HQO3BNVWICBV2EAPZYTL/BRIDIE2.jpg Bridie Jackson - BRIDIE JACKSON & AUKESTRA SUMMER STREETS SONGWRITING PROJECT ‘TOGETHER:APART’ As part of this year’s Summer Street Festival, musician Bridie Jackson will collaborate with Summer Streets favourites AUKESTRA to write an original song called ‘Together: Apart’, an anthem about the importance of connection and what has been keeping people and communities together despite the recent lockdown. The song will be created by Bridie and the group together via Zoom, and following this, the group will each be invited to record and film themselves singing the song. These contributions will then be edited together to create a special music video, to be released on the final day of the festival, Friday 24th of July. For more information on Bridie, visit her website. More information on Aukestra: Aukestra are a diverse collective of musicians: some are autistic, some aren’t. What all of the band have in common is a desire to produce high-quality creatively-challenging music. Lockdown has made this incredibly difficult so the group has started to explore new ways of doing the thing they love the most - making music. https://www.facebook.com/aukestra/ https://www.summerstreetsfestival.com/ssf20-gig daily 0.75 2020-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594198318664-3XXL4N5V2MBX8NDOC5T9/Martha-By-Meg-Lavender.jpg SSF20 GIG Martha https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594198451592-B8YM9C03UV4QNAEZPENK/Look+Mum%2C+No+Computer%21.jpg SSF20 GIG Look Mum, No Computer! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594198328468-Y10PCSUJFZH8PQN75FB2/cattlecaneallyshots-159.jpg SSF20 GIG Cattle & Cane https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594198331363-FSE4BHQQ3MZPMG6RGFK6/Martha+Hill+2.jpg SSF20 GIG Martha Hill https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594198348144-G4JQH041HZUQ6M2MU93Z/Kema+Kay+High+res+1+%282%29.jpg SSF20 GIG Kema Kay https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594198273224-LEOZMHUD4VRCYQVIUXQ2/Georgia+May.jpeg SSF20 GIG Georgia May https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594198478628-Y1LKMZV04M4ZBM0HQRG7/David+Eagle+photo+headshot+01.jpeg SSF20 GIG David Eagle (The Younguns) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594198345335-P5ZJR2JWYPLJW482OC2D/Rob+Heron.jpg SSF20 GIG Rob Heron & The Teapad Orchestra https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594198474819-2C99DL2FWTMEX4IBUSGV/Reali-T.jpg SSF20 GIG Reali-T https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594198266580-VR3J15PSKS2MHLICL1CT/James+Leonard+Hewitson.jpg SSF20 GIG James Leonard Hewitson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594198268771-O9XZ43X3ATAY53EDSCFZ/Jodie+Nicholson.jpg SSF20 GIG Jodie Nicholson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594198378334-VZMJDDH1CG9IEZIB16AL/Squarms.jpg SSF20 GIG Squarms https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594208373704-BQRJSMKQBUCCH6RQ4YMU/John+Kellyclose+up+copy+2.jpeg SSF20 GIG John Kelly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594198522279-O0L2J7SYSHSU92PJN6ZW/The+Railway+Club+%28photo+by+David+Garrick%29.jpg SSF20 GIG The Railway Club https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594198495748-KTWM8ZKC5GF0WHL9C2DE/Whole+group+YMP+SS+2019.jpg SSF20 GIG WE MAKE CULTURE YOUNG MUSICIANS PROJECT: Lottie Willis, Julia O'Neill, Eve Cole, Ami McGuinness, Isabel Hudson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594204644997-0IM6UL1D9DOAEV0CYUF3/SummerStreetsINTHEHOUSEposter+copy.jpg SSF20 GIG https://www.summerstreetsfestival.com/realit daily 0.75 2020-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594201552022-JFIFOUCV77T0KTFZVPYM/Reali-T.jpg REALI-T - Qualified pharmacist by day, rapper by night, Reali-T a.k.a Your Boy From Hackney a.k.a Black Guy In Your Neighbourhood a.k.a My Mother’s Favourite Rapper (all facts), is set to bring his own brand of humorous , self-deprecating lyricism to SUMMER STREETS IN THE HOUSE.

This is no lazy pastiche, no dressing up box. They live and breathe this music and want you to get immersed with them. The Tea Pad are eight years into a remarkable story that began with four friends studying at Newcastle University and now sees them playing venues and festivals across the UK and mainland Europe. Based in Newcastle Upon Tyne but with members hailing from Orkney to Warwickshire, the Tea Pad sound draws on myriad influences – from Hank Williams to Django Reinhardt, Tom Waits to The Beatles – yet ultimately sounds like nobody else, that North Eastern Swing style that’s utterly their own and changing all the time. Usually a six piece band, for the Summer Streets live stream, Rob is joined by the band's mandolin and harmonica player, Tom Cronin. https://teapadorchestra.co.uk/ https://www.summerstreetsfestival.com/james-leonard-hewitson daily 0.75 2020-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594201729303-YMNDKXOE6VAUJWVHOU03/James+Leonard+Hewitson.jpg JAMES LEONARD HEWITSON - James Leonard Hewitson is an indie songwriter from Hartlepool. He released his first full-band album ‘Only The Noise Will Save Me’ in February 2020, which contained songs that have been praised by BBC Radio 6, Amazing Radio, top blogs such as CLASH, Line of Best Fit and more, as well as some songs being featured on TV shows like Made in Chelsea and Tattoo Fixers. His style can be described as a mixture of indie-rock, post-punk, proto-punk and anti-folk, which hopefully offers something recognisable yet hard to pin down. JAMES was set to play at End of The Road Festival this year, after winning their ‘Play EOTR’ competition. facebook.com/jamesleonardhewitson https://www.summerstreetsfestival.com/kema-kay daily 0.75 2020-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594200582838-QTJNNQOMAUKAMUNI87BA/Kema+Kay+High+res+1+%282%29.jpg KEMA KAY - Kema Kay WAS brought up in the west-end of Newcastle.

Musically, I am self taught. I started a band in my teens (Another Dead Rabbit) writing and gigging whenever and wherever I could. I took on the guitar, bass and keyboards and I'm pleased to say I’m still dodgy on them all”. John Kelly is a warm, funny, passionate musician with over 30 years’ live experience. He is a lover and a (non-violent) fighter for equality, inclusion and human rights. His songwriting sits alongside that of his heroes and peers; containing all the compassion & conviction of Woody Guthrie, the fiery passion of Billy Bragg and the imaginative storytelling of Ian Dury & The Blockheads. As a solo artist and lead member of the band Rockinpaddy he has wowed crowds at gigs ranging from backroom pubs to sold-out stadiums. John’s music is informed by his broad musical tastes encompassing Irish, folk and traditional music alongside rockabilly, punk, ska and blues. https://www.facebook.com/JohnKellyMusician/ https://www.summerstreetsfestival.com/david-eagle daily 0.75 2020-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594201216165-DWN29VXSJXJ0KN0AGUKH/David+Eagle+photo+headshot+01.jpeg DAVID EAGLE - Since 2005, David Eagle has been a member of three-time BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winning band The Young'uns , well-known for their comedy, with the Guardian writing in their 5& review: "a rampant humour which occasionally makes them appear more like standup comedians, mercilessly mocking one another and involving the audience at every turn ..." ""The Young’uns were bravely emotional but also very funny, thanks to the constant banter from Eagle ..." In 2018, David started performing standup. He has been crowned New Comedian Of The Year by Leicester square Theatre and at Bath Comedy Festival and Nottingham Comedy Festival. He has opened for award winning comedians Reginald D Hunter, Tom Wrigglesworth, Adam Bloom and regularly for Boothby Graffoe. He also starred in Tony Law and Phil Nichol's improvised 2019 Edinburgh Fringe show. David is blind, and his comedy often explores how his disability means the most ordinary, commonplace events are turned into surreal and convoluted dramas. Occasionally he dons his accordion (often as a spiteful repost to hecklers) and performs one of his comedy songs, such as his George Formby parody, described by the Guardian as "a comic tour de force." http://www.davideagle.co.uk/ https://www.summerstreetsfestival.com/cattle-cane daily 0.75 2020-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1594200183319-RB5PCYLAZFL0AK8174S0/cattlecaneallyshots-159.jpg CATTLE & CANE - Appearing at Summer Streets Festival for the first time, Cattle & Cane recently released their stunning new album Navigator, which was described by Thank Folk For That as “THE album of 2019.” Produced by Pete Hammerton (The Shires, The Wandering Hearts, Tom Gregory etc), brother/sister duo Helen and Joe Hammill display a confidence and maturity that sees their soaring sibling harmonies and timeless song-writing come to the fore. “For the first time ever, we took a step back and actually thought about how Cattle & Cane should sound and where we want to take it” says Joe. “This is the music we've always wanted to be making and we're so happy with how this album has turned out.

After spending many months in many different studios and practice rooms, South Shields' The Railway Club finally released their eagerly awaited debut album 'How to Steer a Sinking Ship...' on the 9th of October 2015. Then they called it a day. Their final line-up consisted of original members Martin Francis Trollope and Glenn Coyne, who were joined by longtime friends and collaborators Carmen Green and Natasha Haws, themselves highly regarded singer/songwriters. Since the four amicably parted ways, they've stayed in regular contact and the idea of a reunion has been touted every few months since. Ironically, now that it's impossible for them to perform together in the same room in front of an audience, it's finally happening and hopefully this will be the recommencement of something wonderful. Since this year will mark five years since the release of 'How to Steer a Sinking Ship...', the band will finally be joining the modern world and making their back catalogue available to stream on all major platforms, as of early July 2020. acmtrecords.bandcamp.com https://www.summerstreetsfestival.com/holmeside-writerstalking-heads daily 0.75 2020-07-24 https://www.summerstreetsfestival.com/ssf21-commission-brief daily 0.75 2021-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1621420876594-85QSRAL9W0IGCURDD020/WEB-SSF21-Commission-Brief.jpg SSF21 COMMISSION BRIEF https://www.summerstreetsfestival.com/new-york-brass-band daily 0.75 2021-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecbb052e221bb54c0bb5f70/1624556181672-5GKB7I95KIDLTAKHUBPX/NYBB_page.jpg New York Brass Band - New york brass band 5pm, Saturday 17th July - Pop-up performance along Sunderland seafront.
