Mercury Prize Fringe Event: Public House Hifi presents Tommy Caulker (World Headquarters)

This listing is tickets for the party only from 6-11pm not the listening session from 4-6pm These are both pay-as-you-feel events to support the local music economy in the North East in association with The Mercury Prize. The tickets on RA do not have a charge, they only secure your space and then you must pay on the door to gain entry. Tommy Caulker has spent decades at the heart of Newcastle club culture as the founder and musical force behind World Headquarters. From 1993 onwards, the WHQ Uplifting Groove was built around Tommy playing solo for up to six hours, with sets crossing funk, soul, hip-hop, house, reggae, rare records and music from across the world. As part of Newcastle City Council’s support for the Mercury Prize Fringe, every Fringe gig is Pay As You Feel - making incredible live music accessible to everyone. Every penny contributed goes directly back to the local venues hosting the programme, helping strengthen the spaces that keep our city’s music scene alive year-round.
