Here’s 10 of the top things to do which should make your weekend go with a bang.
9. Re-Take That, Sunderland Empire, November 2
Everything Changes for a popular Sunderland-based Take That tribute band as they launch a brand new band line up. Re-Take That have recently announced new band member Nick Walton to play the role of Gary Barlow ahead of their 2019/2020 theatre tour, which kicks off at Sunderland Empire on November 2. Take That and Re-Take That fans alike are normally used to Washington-born Paul Waite taking to the stage as Gary but after over a decade of mimicking the Take That frontman, he has passed the microphone on to vocalist and performer Nick. They are performing at the Sunderland Empire on with their latest production, Take That Greatest Hits - The Singalong. Photo: Re-Take That
