All aboard the Express, a special evening of songs as a celebration of Last Train Home Festival, and a gorgeous gig in its own right.
Taking place on the platform of Darlington's own Head of Steam Railway Museum, artists will perform surrounded by trains and trinkets from times gone by - a sight to behold, and a story to be told.
