Gok Wan Heads Up Music Marathon at Wylam Brewery

The TV legend who got everyone dancing in their kitchens during lockdown is heading to Newcastle for a night of legendary music.

Gok Wan originally came to fame as a fashion stylist before moving on to front his own cookery shows and present documentaries.

But it’s skill behind a mixing desk which has led to another facet of his career – and one which will be bringing him to the North East.

When Covid took its grip Gok started his own Isolation Nation discos, DJing from his own kitchen and attracting audiences from across the UK from people who were stuck at home.

Once the pandemic was over Gok decided to take his DJing out on the road and will be bringing his celebration of house and disco classics to Wylam Brewery on 24 October.

Love Generation – the celebration of house, disco and Ibiza classics – is part of a series of events at the brewery created by Powers Events UK and North East based EVNT Inspiration.

Along with a live DJ set by Gok, it will feature Brodie, Mike MishMash and the Love Generation dancers, making it for a memorable evening of entertainment.

Tickets are £16.50p each plus a booking fee and are available at www.ThePowerUK.co.uk

The event runs from 7pm until midnight and is for over 18s only.

“Gok Wan is an absolute legend,” said Mike Hesketh of EVNT Inspirations.

“He got so many people through lockdown so this is an absolutely brilliant opportunity to see him in person and enjoy a night packed with classics.”

Other events planned at Wylam Brewery include Martin Humes’ Noughties Baby  which will feature the best music of the noughties which is taking place on 3 October.
