Newcastle events company to host live music showcase to support local talent

Newly launched North East based events company, Marisam Events, will be hosting an exciting music showcase to support and celebrate local talent.

The company, who have successfully hosted their Late ‘n’ Live Music Quiz, Late ‘n’ Live Karaoke in the past, will be hosting an event named Platform 22, which is a local live music showcase.

In the second time that they have hosted the event, Platform 22 will take place on Saturday, September 9, at The Black Swan within Newcastle Arts Centre.

The event will see four local musicians take to stage to perform a half an hour set of their own original music. The artists performing at Platform 22 this Saturday will be Lottie Willis, Conor Michael, The Stellar Anderson Project, and Eva Chasteau.

The audience will use a QR code to vote for their favourite performance of the night, and the winning artist will receive a monetary prize which will go towards funding for their musical career.
