Strum on The Tyne 2019

“Strum on The Tyne” is a free, fund-raising Ukulele Festival that operates under the umbrella of the Crossing The Tyne Festival.

The “Crossing The Tyne Festival” is a completely voluntary event.
All venues, performers and organisers give their performance spaces, equipment, time, talents and energies for free – to entertain, enjoy the community spirit and raise funds for good causes.
The Crossing The Tyne Festival was recognised by the Great Exhibition of The North 2018 as an Inspirational Event!
