It's festive up north

We haven't been avoiding the Festival of the North which is happening at the moment; but neither have we been seeking it out. Nonetheless, last Saturday (yes, Saturday a week ago - this post has been long in the writing) we did two things which come under its capacious umbrella - and one that didn't. We went to two concerts at the Sage, and spent the time between them exploring the 'Winged Tales of the North' trail in the Ouseburn.
