Lou, Ents24 have not updated their information. Blue Diamond where due to play in July, but unfortunately are unable to do that one. Their next scheduled gig is Friday 24 September. Hope to see you then...
Posted 26/06/2010 by Lou
When will Blue Diamond be playing next? Ents24 say they will be playing on Wed 14th July, but Tony Bengtsson is in your 'Music & Events' listings for that night...

Bev, welcome back. Sorry to tell you (again) Soul Reason no longer play at the Maggie. Somehting to do with internal band politics. We do have other great soul bands on the books though (or was it the boys you liked). If you really want to see SR, I believe they still play at their regular venues in Newcastle.

Hello everyone,

Long time no hear been away a while but back in the Northeast now so thought I would check out the goings on at the Maggie! Will be popping in soon most defiantely but wondered if you had Soul Reason booked in for any gigs? I used to see them regularly at the Maggie but not heard from them in ages, please tell me theyare booked in I always loved a night with them. Hope you are all well

Well Johnny, so glad you enjoyed the Bank Holiday special with the Proper Boys. We will have another special in August, keep watching the site for news of that one.

What a fantastic Bank Holiday Monday. Good weather, great beer, the best live music (The Proper Boys - hard to beat) and a stonkin crowd of canny people. Well done to the Maggie team for putting a such a great afternoon of quality entertainment. May it never end...

Hi Tommy. Yup the Zincbuckets were a bit special weren't they... You only have to wait until 31 July for their return. Bet you can't wait...

Fantastic afternoon at the Maggy. Bessie and the Zincbuckets were top. Great music, great atmosphere. When are they back?

First time at The Magnesia Bank, why didn't we find this place sooner? Excellent food, good beer AND a live band. What more could we want. Will be back soon.

Billy, glad you enjoyed The Neutronz, we have more of the same coming up soon in the form of Hiccup Riot and Some Like it Hot. Look forward to seeing you again soon.
Posted 14/02/2010 by Billy Hamilton
Great night with The Nuetronz, love the idea of a rock n roll band playing Bowie and Springsteen numbers. Thanks to the Maggie for providing a great venue with great music.

Andy, its a pity a few more did not have your foresight. Mind you, 66 steps could be a lot with a head full of Magus... So remember, drink sensibly, and always have one for the road.

...It's the reason I bought my house 13 years ago. 66 footsteps from my front door...

Ron, so glad you thought that the New Year Eve party night was such a good deal. Thanks for the feedback and look forward to the next one.
Posted 18/01/2010 by Ron Ainsborough
Great New Year's eve party,worth every penny. Ticket entry worked a treat. Alive and Kicking put on yet another great show!

Peter, glad you enjoyed The Force. The band had been trying to get a gig at The bank for ages, but circumstance always got in the way. Now that they have broken their Maggie virginity we are delighted to tell you they will be back in July. If rock music is the sort of thing you are into, keep an eye for the opther top rock bands who appear at The Magnesia Bank.
Posted 16/01/2010 by peter richards
Saw the FORCE last night, totally blown away, what are they doing playing pubs, they are the best rock band I have ever seen ,absolutly awesome,what a coupe for the maggie , you MUST get them back.
Reply 08/01/2010 by Northumbria Listings
Gemma. Fancy taking so long to discover one of Tyneside's greatest treasures. Glad you enjoyed Grooveline, if thats the sort of sound you like you should try Jam Hot on Friday 22nd January (it features Groovline's vocalist). Grooveline themselves return on Friday 26 February. See you then....
Posted 08/01/2010 by Gemma
I've just found your site! We visited this pub on the day of the Great North Run 2009. There was a fantastic band playing in the bar. We all loved them. I think they were called Grooveline. Are they playing here again?
Reply 04/01/2010 by Aunty Maggie
Dianne, thanks for the positve feedback. Glad to hear you had an enjoyable New Year Eve with us. Please continue visiting us and enjoying all that we offer.

David, so glad your enjoying the music, its great to get such positive feedback. But don't forget Andrea and her teams who have worked hard to maintain the highest of standards for food and beverage. The success of the Maggie relies on all things working well.

What can I say.....
Jacqui and Terry...you are doing a fantastic job...the last 3 or 4 weeks have been absolutely terrific with great music on Fri/Sat/and Sun afternoons...the Maggie's better than its ever been...keep it up...today's Swing Fever was a great surprise and Friday's Poor Boys were terrific...superb..!

Trance, thanks for the feedback, it nice to know the effort is appreciated.
Posted 15/11/2009 by Trance Bilker
What a great afternoon on Sunday. Had a nice Sunday lunch and then stayed to listen to The Caffreys for the rest of the day. It's good to the Maggie is heading back to the top again. Well done to everyone involved.
Good food, good music and a good crowd. Nice end to the weekend. Keep it up...

Max,
Congratulations on winning. Patience is a virtue that pays dividends eventually. You are right though, what a wimp! But remember drinking responsibly is very important, so perhaps you were only being sensible.
Posted 05/11/2009 by Max
It took five years but i finally won the gallon of ale, but I failed to finish it in one session.....what a whimp!! Thanks Aunty Maggie....regards Max

I have to put a personal entry in the guestbook.
I went to the Maggie for the Sunday afternoon session with Little Mo (Mo Scott Band) to try and grab a few decent pics, I also had some Lunch, what a lovely piece of rare beef I had. I then stuck around for the Bank Suite gig by The Spikedrivers, and wow was I glad I did. I hadn't actually seen a live show by the Spikedrivers, bloody 'ell they're good. Never seen anyone using kitchen appliances in an R’n’B show for a long time. We all had a great night; hopefully they will be back before too long.
Reply 01/11/2009 by Aunty Maggie
Its good to hear from you again Elise, it would seem that have not been here since May.
So glad to hear you enjoyed your visit (again). How lucky you are to have come to the Maggie when we had The Smokin' Spitfires Soul Band playing. Please come again soon.
Posted 31/10/2009 by Elise from Bucks.
What a great night we had last night, a nice meal and great music, I love soul and motown.
I love coming to the North East, especially since we discovered the Magnesia Bank.
I wish we had a bar like this were we live.
Reply 27/10/2009 by Aunty Maggie
Well now David, thanks for the wonderful epistle. We are so glad you and your friends had such a great time over the weekend; we hope to see you every weekend from now on. After all, were else would you go, you’re probably not going to get a very warm welcome in other bars after praising us so highly.
It has taken time but the whole team have worked hard to bring the Maggie back from the brink, with our customers continued support, the future can only get brighter.
Posted 26/10/2009 by David Thomson
What a weekend...the best ever. Friday night with Heavy Load, Saturday night with Little Stevie and yesterday I persuaded a bunch of Old Maggie aficionados to return for lunch and the Revolutionaires...er wow!
We were there at the Maggie's beginning...happily enjoyed its rise to the peak... and wept at its precipitous decline under those who thought it was an easy act to follow.
Well. Congratulations to the Black Door Group, Andria, Jacqui and Terry, Ben and the team for seeing it for what it was, understanding the magic and giving us back what was, and is again, the greatest all-in-one venue in the North East. Real ales, good wines, great and affordable food, great atmosphere and music, and staff with a personality ( er..might be exaggerating a bit there..!) Brilliant.
Sorry Tynemouth, Whitley Bay, Jesmond, Gosforth and Newcastle....whats the attraction?...other than for a change from North Shields!
