Experience Rob Heron & The Tea Pad Orchestra live on November 21st

Rob Heron & The Tea Pad Orchestra are scheduled to perform at The Cluny 2 in Newcastle upon Tyne on November 21, 2026. The band is known for a distinctive musical style often described as “North Eastern Swing,” blending elements of jazz, blues, country and folk music with a uniquely British sensibility. Their arrangements frequently incorporate brass sections, upright bass, and Heron’s vocals, creating a sound reminiscent of 1930s and 40s American dance bands but with original compositions and a contemporary edge.

The Cluny 2 is a well-established live music venue situated in the Ouseburn Valley of Newcastle. It operates as the smaller sister venue to the larger Cluny building, focusing on showcasing emerging and established artists across diverse genres. Originally a brewery warehouse, The Cluny 2 was converted into a performance space in the early 2000s and has become a significant part of Newcastle’s independent music scene. It's known for its intimate atmosphere and commitment to supporting live music. The venue regularly hosts touring bands and local acts alike, contributing to the cultural vibrancy of the Ouseburn area which has seen considerable regeneration in recent years.
