The wet conditions couldn’t dampen spirits in Bents Park on Sunday as crowds still turned up in huge numbers to enjoy ABC, Chesney Hawkes and Nuromantica at the second of South Tyneside Council’s Bents Park concerts.
North East locals Nuromantica kicked off the afternoon of live music with a fantastic set of 80s covers before the ‘one and only’ Hawkes took to the stage.
Sheffield group ABC brought the day to a close in the pouring rain and these are some of the best photos from throughout the day.
