Wow! What a week! Just yesterday we were on the ground at Stockton Globe, ATG’s brand new, 3000 capacity, flagship music and comedy venue, as it unveiled the completion of its £28 million restoration by Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, to a targeted guestlist of press.
We have been so excited for this incredible milestone and it was a real honour to be part of the day as we worked alongside the amazing team from the council to lead our guests on an informative guided tour of the venue, taking in all of the heritage works and new additions while facilitating interviews with ATG representatives and local councillors, as well as a live television news broadcast from the stage.
This wasn’t any normal press launch as it required even further meticulous planning in order to adhere to the social restrictions thrust upon us by the pandemic that shall not be named. We won’t bore you with the exact details of this part of the process, but to cut a long, yet triumphant, story short: they presented a huge challenge that we worked really hard to successfully overcome.
It was a beautiful day; a real life event (we know, right!) with an amazing feeling of pride pulsating through the truly iconic Art-Deco building; it was as if it knew that its entertainment journey was about to start once again.
Tremendous support for the build completion from the media has seen meaningful coverage appear across a spread of titles including BBC News Online, ITV Tyne Tees Online, Music Week, Access All Areas, Total Production International, MONDO-DR, BBC Look North, BBC Radio Tees, ITV Tyne Tees, Northern Echo, Teesside Live, Darlington & Stockton Times and NE Volume.
Another step closer to opening for Stockton Globe and a huge moment for the live entertainment industry as a sleeping legend awakens… in the words of The Beatles: here comes the sun!
