This year Twestival aims to highlight
eight issues preventing some of the world’s poorest young
people from going to school and getting the education they need.
Twestival events in cities and
schools around the world will be selecting one of these areas
to give their fundraising focus to. The various areas are
highlighted on the Twestival site and
we want to know which area you would like TyneTwestival to
support. Please get in touch and tell us where your money should
go!
On the night itself,
internationally renowned North East globetrotter Paul Smith,
better known as @Twitchhiker
, will be heading up the event in aid of @Concern.
Paul will launch the event at the Tyne Bar in
Newcastle, and will be followed be a whole host of other great entertainment.
The cost of the ticket will go
directly to charity and cover two free drinks, food, all the live
music and a few other bits and bobs that will be thrown in for
good measure!
There will be hundreds of pounds
worth of prizes up for grabs (thanks to Admiral PR , Better Brand Agency
and NFM to name
a few), so be sure to get your tickets from the lovely ladies
at Sharpe Recruitment (@Sharperecruit). Again, all these much needed
funds will go directly to a very worthwhile cause.
Our very own @LoveLi is
managing all the entertainment on the night, and we’ve got
some cracking people lined up. We’ve got a brilliant DJ -
the fabulous Mickey Clarke (thanks to @ShaunAllan for the tip), we’ve also got
two bands to date - @SevenFables and @CedarWay - but we’ve still got
room for more, so if you know of any great bands please
ask them to contact @TyneTwestival, or pass on their contact
details to us and we’ll follow them up.
The awesome @thetynebar has given us a great venue for the
event, giving a great balance of networking and the all-important
live music.
There’s also a few other
people who we need to tip our hat to - the very generous Ross
Cooney of EmailCloud and SuperMondays and Di Gates of Stick Theory; Better Brand
Agency, Thomas Jackson
Photography, The Bigger
Picture, YourFilm, and
@Shepy for their
creativity and time; Emmas Boutique
and Fudge
Creative for their social media nous; and @pez_sez for his way with words.
The event starts at 7pm on the
25th – which isn’t far off. We’re
always open for offers of more raffle prizes, so please drop us a
line (@TyneTwestival) if you can help.
We’ll have more information
soon, so keep an eye out!
Thanks to Northern
Film and Media who have helped make this event happen
(yet again!)
