Rock & Raise – Country Night 2025 at Wylam Brewery, Newcastle

Under the grand arches of Wylam Brewery, Newcastle’s beloved music-meets-charity night returns with a stellar lineup for country fans who love their tunes with a side of soul. Hosted by the legendary Bob Harris, this year's Rock & Raise – Country Night is set to be an unforgettable evening of live music, heartfelt moments, and community spirit, all in support of the Sir Graham Wylie Foundation and other charities. 100% of proceeds are donated to charity.

From the powerhouse vocals of Kezia Gill, fresh from festival triumphs, to the emotional depth of rising star Chanel Yates, the night weaves through country, folk, and Americana with finesse. The Often Herd bring their acclaimed bluegrass harmonies, while Lorraine Crosby—yes, the female voice on Meat Loaf's “I Would Do Anything for Love”—injects some rock 'n' roll magic. Rounding off the night is North Yorkshire’s finest, North Riding, bringing earthy melodies and undeniable charm.
