Brush away the winter blues with Leah Bell at the Phoenix Theatre in Blyth this month.
After her previous sell-out shows, North East entertainment legend Leah returns to the Phoenix with her feel-good show Rock, Roll and Remember.
Remember the fashion, the fun and the music, from crepe sole shoes and drape jackets to miniskirts and beehive hairdos?
Rock, Roll and Remember has fun in the Fabulous Fifties, swings through the sensational Sixties and glides through the Glam Rock era.
A community sports day will be held in Blyth tomorrow as part of a project to forge links between local residents and police.

Christmas lights in Northumberland's biggest town will be switched on later this week in a ceremony featuring Pudsey Bear from the BBC's Children In Need charity.

A street collection for the Children In Need appeal will be taken by members of the local 1000 Squadron Air Training Corps, and festive carols will be sung by pupils from the town's schools.
Blyth Market, which will be held all day on Friday, will also be staying open late so that more people can take advantage of the shopping opportunities.
The Christmas lighting display and ceremony has involved Blyth Town Council, the BBC, the county council and Blyth Valley Arts and Leisure Ltd.
