Huge thanks to everyone involved in our Never Too Old to Rock project! 😊😊😊
All good things must come to an end...
And Never Too Old to Rock is no exception. After six and a half years of rocking, we're drawing this long-running project to a close. This is for no other reason other than the time was right and there are lots more opportunities to explore beyond this project.
In that six and a half years, we've endured a pandemic, played loads of great gigs, and most importantly, helped create some lasting friendships and connections that will go far beyond the life cycle of Never Too Old to Rock.
This project has helped build the knowledge, skills, and confidence of around 100 participants over the years, and many have gone on to form bands or regularly jam at some of Gateshead's many buskers nights.
Also, as you already know, as one door closes, another one opens. Jed's guitar group will be continuing from September (Wednesdays at 3pm from the 23rd September in Deckham) and we have another few music projects in the pipeline too. There's also our long-established Ukulele group that runs on Wednesdays from 2pm and our Tuesday singing group too.

Thanks you to everyone who has been involved in Never Too Old to Rock in the past six and a half years. We couldn't have done it without you.
