Plague Doctors Cure All + Noonward

26 years of performing across Newcastle, ~20 venues, and the story keeps unfolding. ��
On Wednesday, 11 November, I’m heading back to Tyneside for a double bill at The Central Bar in Gateshead, presented by Jazz North East.
This night brings together two projects with deep personal connections:
� NOONWARD (Sean Noonan & Alex Ward):
Alex Ward and I have have rare concerts and this is our first time appearing here as a duo. Our collaboration grew out of informal improvisations into dedicated compositions written specifically for this combination.
Expect a wide, surprising stylistic terrain—ranging from explosive rock energy (like Ward’s "Packed" or my "Circle Of Willis") to subdued, evocative melodicism ("Leaf Count" / "Funnel Weaver"). It’s an intricate blend of multi-part structural composition, live improvisation, and my vocal storytelling woven throughout.
� Sharing the Stage with Friends:
We’re double-billing with my dear friend Lyndon Owen and his band Plague Doctors Cure All (featuring Lyndon on sax/EWI, Will Cass on guitar, Tom Callinswood on bass, and Barry Edwards on drums). Lyndon programmed NOONWARD at the Queen's Head in Monmouth, so bringing this energy together for a North East audience feels like a pre-determined match.
� EVENT DETAILS:
Date: Wednesday, 11 November 2026
Venue: The Central Bar, Half Moon Lane, Gateshead (NE8 2AN)
Times: Doors 7:30 PM | Music Starts 8:00 PM
Lineup: Plague Doctors Cure All + NOONWARD (Sean Noonan & Alex Ward)
