McGuinness
This exhibition was planned as a major retrospective of one of the North East's most celebrated artists in honour of his 80th birthday in April. However, sadly Tom died in February this year as work was nearing completion. After discussion with Tom's family it was decided to go ahead with both the exhibition and the book, to commemorate Tom's life and art. The exhibition brings together the full range of Tom's extraordinary output ranging from early items - part of The Jack Reading Bequest - to the present day and includes some works not previously exhibited, together with examples of Tom's mastery of printmaking. A book entitled 'McGuinness' by Robert McManners and Gillian Wales will be launched to coincide with the exhibition.

The Northumbrians
Why is the North East the most distinctive region of England? Where do the stereotypes about North Easterners come from, and why are they so often misunderstood? In this wideranging new history of the people of North East England, Dan Jackson explores the deep roots of Northumbrian culture--hard work and heavy drinking, sociability and sentimentality, militarism and masculinity--in centuries of border warfare and dangerous and demanding work in industry, at sea and underground. He explains how the landscape and architecture of the North East explains so much about the people who have lived there, and how a 'Northumbrian Enlightenment' emerged from this most literate part of England, leading to a catalogue of inventions that changed the world, from the locomotive to the lightbulb. Jackson's Northumbrian journey reaches right to the present day, as this remarkable region finds itself caught between an indifferent south and a newly assertive Scotland. Covering everything from the Venerable Bede and the prince-bishops of Durham to Viz and Geordie Shore, this vital new history makes sense of a part of England facing an uncertain future, but whose people remain as distinctive as ever.
