If you ever sweated through your fringe at Sumo in Boro in the early 00’s whilst dancing to Arctic Monkeys, The Libertines and Maximo Park, you have @itsphilsaunders to thank.

Much like how I dealt with my quarter-life-crisis, and one-third-life-crisis, I’m dealing with my mid-life-crisis by… joining a band! Yeah!

Just finished @ThisClubCouldBe - loved it!
If you’re not from Teesside then it’s hard to understand just how mega a night-out in the Boro is, but despite being born ~5 years too late to enjoy Sumo at its peak, we had some monster nights there 2014-16.
Top job @itsphilsaunders !

Here’s a photo of my wife hairspraying “jedwards” quiff into place, in the Empire ages ago. This tale, and 200 more… in the book 📕

To celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the release of my book This Club Could Be Your Life I’ll be sharing some of my favourite memories of the release, and some of the older treasures we unearthed 12months ago when this thing briefly took over my kitchen. (1/3)

Firstly, here’s a Spotify playlist of all the songs, in setlist order, that Craig and Kev played at the first ever night at Sumo. These four hours of tunes were played on Friday August 12th, 2005. At The Cornerhouse in Middlesbrough. (2/3)
