This is one of the key questions asked by author Ian Fawdon when he set out to interview some of the most important figures in the region’s musical history.
London, Liverpool and Manchester are all celebrated for the artists and genres that define those regions, but has the North East had something similar? Ian sat down with over 30 artists to find out what it means to be a musician from the North East.
