About this Event

Two raconteurs with a passion for their native North East and the Beautiful Game share their love of both in a conversation with each other and their audiences.

Join Michael Chaplin (Newcastle United Stole My Heart) & Harry Pearson (The Far Corner, The Farther Corner) for an evening of conversation about our region’s football – the highs, the lows & the even lowers.

Covering everything from the dribbling skills of Alan Suddick to Chris Waddle’s mullet, via Ron Guthrie’s Norseman lager win bonus and the open-topped Gents at Dean Street, this event is a must for anyone who can’t hear the name “Jinky” Jim Smith without emitting a wry chuckle.

On Newcastle United Stole my Heart, Michael Chaplin

‘A remarkable evocation of place, of time and obsession with a football club, as well as a lovely read.’ Sting

On The Farther Corner, Harry Pearson
‘One of the funniest books I’ve read.’ Arthur Mathews, co-writer of Father Ted
