Fellow on her Travels. Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Posted on by Dr Karen E McAulay

I’m off to Tyneside for a conference. I went to university in Durham, had my first permanent job in South Shields, and my husband was born and brought up in Newcastle, so the north-east isn’t entirely unknown to me. I’m curious to see what the quayside in Newcastle looks like now – it must be a couple of decades since I was last there for more than a few hours.

‘Music for All’: the Rise and Fall of Scottish Music Publishing, 1880-1964

I’m looking forward to giving my paper at the Print Networks conference. 

  • Paper? Check!
  • PowerPoint? Check!
  • Power-dressing jacket?
  • Power-dressing jacket???
  • Power-dressing jacket left on dining room chair …. ????

Not to worry, I found a viable alternative on my way to Queen Street Station.  I’m really not into tailored dressing, anyway!
