introduction
We aim to create safe, welcoming spaces for queer and disabled individuals in the DIY live music scene. Our mission is to empower individuals to connect, create, and thrive, believing in music's ability to drive social and cultural change. We focus on grassroots venues in Newcastle Upon Tyne, uplifting diverse voices and artistic expression. At T&Q, we prioritise accessibility and representation in our communityfocused programming, showcasing emerging artists while providing a safe platform for connection for all attendees. We provide performance opportunities for emerging local and non local musicians. We’d love to hear your thoughts and get you involved in shaping our processes.
