From Tuesday 31st August Westoe Band will be rehearsing in the Harton and Westoe Miners' Welfare club. The band has its own room for storage and will be using upstairs function room for playing.

For the past few years the band has been using a Church Hall in Jarrow without any nearby storage for music. |
