Thanks for taking an interest in our first Innovation Festival. NWG are really excited to be creating this fantastic showcase of innovative thinking and new technology in Newcastle from 10 -14 July 2017.
A truly unique event, taking six problems and applying design thinking techniques to try to solve them in five action packed days. The focus on innovation will be mashed up with the feeling of a summer festival featuring a tented village and fun events every evening to engage various groups in the North East of England. All held in a truly unique venue.
Wednesday was live music night, with a concert headlined by soul powerhouses Smoove & Turrell, and featuring performances by North East bands High Tide, Diablo and A Day In Helsinki. This is a recording of Diablo.
DIABLO formed in 2005 building up a reputation for their exciting, high energy live shows with today's popular indie rock covers and their own songs which were recorded on four albums - "Violet Scent Of Rose", "Quietly In The Background"; "Weighed Measured And Found Wanting" - the latter being a live double album - and "Sickhoose". Tracks from these CDs have been popular Internet hits and competition winners, and include "Sigerson", "Only Fools Reign", "Subdued", "Runaway", "Far Less Than You", "Say What You Wanna" and "Spit Upon The Ashes, all of which can be found on You Tube, iTunes, Apple Music and all major download websites. DIABLO have performed all over the north from Liverpool and Birmingham through to Carlisle and Alnwick. The band have headlined or played at many music festivals including Tynedale Beer & Music Festival; Allendale Festival; Stormin’ The Castle; Corbridge Music Festival and have appeared at Newcastle’s 02 Academy. Their songs have been played on radio stations nationally and throughout Europe.
