Welcome To Our Brand New Newcastle Steel City Music Club Website!

Below are the words of our club song, we hope you like them and decide to visit us sometime soon… We’re on every Tuesday night from 7.30pm to 10.30pm, so come along for a sing, or just a relax, dinner and to hear some great country music!

We play country music here at our club,
They said our type of music wouldn’t thrive.
The years have passed without our really knowin,
Ah we always knew our music would survive.

Slim was a favorite here with most folk,
We’d sing ’bout the lights or have no beer.
Times have changed since we started our club,
And someone said we wouldn’t last a year.

It seems like a lifetime we’ve been playing,
Telling tales in good old rythmic rhyme.
So come along and join us for a good time,
And we won’t even charge a single dime.

Lots of folks they like different music,
And most of us grew up with rock and roll.
But there’s no denying country music,
A weekly dose is so good for the soul.

It seems like a lifetime we’ve been playing,
Telling tales in good old rythmic rhyme.
So come along and join us for a good time,
And we won’t even charge a single dime.

We sing songs of broken loves and heartache,
Or of drinking far too many bottles down.
It takes you back when we first started,
They said country music finally come to town.
