Ouseburn set to welcome 'irresistible' new bar and music venue

A new music venue is set to open in Ouseburn this month in the hope of revolutionising Newcastle's cultural landscape.

Tapyard Studios, located in Hoults Yard, offers a café by day and bar by night, with a live performance space and soon-to-be artists studios.

And to celebrate, Ouseburn's latest is throwing a launch party on 31 March complete with live music, street food and a selection of local beers.

Sam Roberts, founder of Tapyard Studios, relocated from Leeds to Newcastle to open the venue, citing the city's thriving music scene as a key factor in choosing the location.

"The city's sense of togetherness and its enthusiastic embrace of music made it an irresistible choice," said Roberts. "Music is absolutely at the heart of the operation."

"We're committed to being among the best venues in the country."

A selection of North East artists have been handpicked to christen Tapyard Studios stage for the launch party, with LAZYRAVE, Late Night Drum Club and Rivkala amongst the names on the bill.

But the venue is also committed to nurturing the next generation of the North East's talent. Roberts owns We Are Heard, a venture which partners with local schools to record albums and generate funding.

Tapyard Studios invites everyone to join in the celebration and become part of Newcastle's burgeoning music community.
