A Northumberland manufacturer is throwing its weight behind a team of students taking part in a green-powered, electric motorsport competition. The team of fledgling engineers from Glasgow University will compete in the biggest educational engineering competition in Europe backed by cable glands, cleats and accessories firm CMP Products. The company, whose central manufacturing, packing and …
A Tyneside-led project has investigated how 170 acres of Rome “jam packed” with archaeology repeatedly changed across eight centuries. An international team of archaeologists, led by Newcastle University and working with a mix of experts from different disciplines, has meticulously studied the transformation of an area in southeast Rome, near the Coliseum. Newcastle University professor …
From Scotswood Road to Scotland’s Euro 2024 base on the edge of the Alps, it’s been quite a journey. There have been ups, downs and almost everything in between for John Carver. Only his career in football was almost over before it really began. John was released by Newcastle United in 1985 as a teenager …
Autumn tour for Love It If We Beat Them Following a successful run at Live Theatre as part of Live Theatre’s 50th birthday celebrations in 2023, Rob Ward’s play, Love It If We Beat Them is returning to stages across the North East later this year. Directed by Bex Bowsher, the critically acclaimed drama about …
No matter how England’s male footballers fare as the Euros get underway in Germany this week, it surely can’t compare with the special achievements of an amateur women’s team from the grass roots of County Durham.

The NewBridge Project’s move into the five storey Shieldfield Centre in Newcastle, with conversion work achieved on a tight budget, has won this year’s Architect’s Journal Small Projects Sustainability Prize. …
So…three weeks down, three still to go. If this is a ‘snap’ general election — an overused phrase if ever there was one — I’d like to see what a normal-length one looks like! Rishi Sunak’s rain-drenched announcement outside Number 10 already feels like a long time ago, even if it did rather set the …
Dateline: The Ninth of June. And what better day to muse about, as Geordie Ridley tells us, as the date they went to Blaydon Races in 1862. As symmetry would have it, 1862 was 162 years ago and Newcastle United must be the only football club to have an anthem of that vintage. It is …
There are two good things to be said about the current uninspiring lightweight bout between Mr Sunak and that parfit gentil knight Sir Keir Starmer. First, it is a marked improvement on the suicidally depressing choice between the forgetful geriatric Democrat and the felonious narcissist Republican across the Atlantic.

We should, by now, have got over any novelty in the idea that women write great music for orchestra and small ensemble alike. Too much of it has simply been neglected unfairly. Caroline Shaw’s modern song cycle Is A Rose was a highlight of last year’s Royal Northern Sinfonia season and Thea Musgrave’s stature in …
