​

Liverpool-born Edward "Ned" Corvan (c.1827-1865) was the first North-East professional singer/songwriter.

 

A play with music. The funny, tragic, but inspirational times of Ned set to 20 of his brilliant songs. 

​

Mr Corvan's Music Hall began its 2017 tour at Durham's Gala Theatre before travelling around North East venues, small and large, and finishing with a standing ovation at The Sage Gateshead (today, The Glasshouse).​

Based on the book Cat-Gut Jim the Fiddler: Ned Corvan's Life & Songs by Dave Harker.​
