Rhodri Davies will be improvising on the harp for The Late Shows 2010

NewcastleGateshead's legendary free culture crawl, The Late Shows, is returning once again, this time with an even bigger selection of spectacular after-hours culture.


Accept an after-dark invitation to The Hatton Gallery and over 35 other venues, as they tempt you in for a not-to-be-missed weekend.



Got something to shout about? Well experiment with noise and help record a sound collage at the Hatton inspired by the All art is, is rhythm exhibition. The exhibition takes its title from artist Kurt Schwitters, who was well known for his sound poetry so there'll be a chance to listen to some of his poems and have a go at creating your own. Listen out for Rhodri Davies exciting performance as he creates new and improvised music on the harp too.



A free bus service will be linking the venues or visitors can jump on the Quaylink buses and get around all night for just £1. To find out more about this event or to join the mailing list contact visit www.thelateshows.org.uk or find us on Twitter, Flickr or Facebook!



The Late Shows forms part of NewcastleGateshead Initiative’s programme of high quality, distinctive festivals and events.
