The Glasshouse

This is a story about place. About people. And about telling it like it is.

We kick things off at The Glasshouse, Mercury Prize-winning People Watching on the turntable. Songs that feel close to home – full of sharp observations, big feelings, and familiar lives. With Geordie tapas on the side, bringing a taste of the North East to the actual table.

Then we follow that thread along the river to Baltic’s Tish Murtha & Kuba Ryniewicz exhibition. Here curators Niomi Fairweather and Rose McMurray pull you deeper into Murtha’s world. The faces. The streets. The stories that shaped generations, and later found their way onto Fender’s album artwork.

A one‑off afternoon that brings the whole story together – start to finish.
