Newcastle's occasional night of books, politics and culture digging countercultural modernism from its grave and watching it punch a police horse in the face outside St James' Park on Insta as @lortburnspecials, on the fash site as @LortBurns
Lort Burn Specials merchandise is of the highest quality. Come get your supplies in this Thursday at the Old Coal Yard www.eventbrite.com/e/lort-burn-...

The Lort Burn flows from Leazes Park to the river Tyne. In the 18thC it was described as "a vast nauseous hollow... A place of filth and dirt", before it was culverted and became Grey Street. Join us as we poke our noses beneath the city's surface. 🔗 www.alphabettitheatre.co.uk/lortburnspec...
