Canny. Class. A North Eastern tale.

From the team behind the local and national hits: The Great Joe Wilson, The Great Geordie Songbook, Mr Covan’s Music Hall, Wor Bella, Hadaway Harry and Carrying David comes a brand new production written by Ed Waugh and directed by Russell Floyd.

Part play, part folk show this event is a must-see for anyone interested in North East heritage.

During the 1926 General Strike, miners in Cramlington accidentally derailed the Flying Scotsman. No one was killed and only one person was slightly injured.

Eight Northumberland miners were sentenced to 48 years’ penal servitude. One of them was William Muckle, who wrote a book about it called No Regrets.
