What's on in Westlea

Durham, England

Westlea sits quietly in Durham where the river flows past and the village green remains a proper community heart. We know that when you walk down the high street, there will be a band playing somewhere or a market stall set up before lunchtime. It is a place where neighbours actually talk to each other instead of just waving from their cars. Local pubs host quiz nights that keep the regulars on their toes while community groups run workshops for all ages. You can find a theatre showing old classics or a cinema screening something new without needing to check a dozen different sites. Near Here gathers these bits and pieces so you do not spend your Sunday morning hunting for fun.

Humour ‘Learning Greek UK Tour 2’

Humour live together in Glasgow. They formed across the 2021 lockdowns, writing and recording their material at home, with the music intended as a backdrop to Andreas' lyrics. Sometimes they’re about letting people down, sometimes they’re about pets dying, sometimes they’re about trying to say something when you don’t have anything worth saying. Signing to SoYoung Records off the back of a few rough demos, it was clear Humour had a unique sound. Their first release ‘Yeah, Mud!’ gained critical acclaim from NME, Clash Magazine, DIY, Dork and more. Following multiple plays on Radio 1, BBC Radio 6, and BBC Scotland, the band eventually released their debut EP, ‘Pure Misery’, which quickly established Humour as one of the most exciting acts in the country. They were featured in NME’S 100, BBC Scotland’s Top 25 for 2023, and three tracks from Pure Misery featured in The Herald’s Top 100 Tunes from Scotland in 2022. The band immediately began to tour extensively off the back of the Pure Misery EP, supporting Do Nothing, Folly Group, Egyptian Blue, and Enumclaw at gigs and festivals across the UK, France, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. The band were then invited across the Atlantic to showcase at SXSW, where they packed out venues across Austin, TX. They followed this up with a debut UK headline tour, including shows in Brighton, London, Margate, Leeds, and Newcastle.
