Company activities and impact

Tyne and Queer is a non-profit organisation that runs throughout Newcastle upon Tyne, run by and for LGBTQIA+, disabled, neurodivergent, and women musicians across the North East. Since its establishment in December 2022. During the financial year 2023-2024 the organisations events have benefited the community in the following ways: fostered inclusivity through live music events, safe spaces, and fair opportunities in the creative industry, ensuring that marginalized voices are heard and valued. Prioritizing accessibility, representation, and community building by creating inclusive spaces that remove barriers to participation. Providing environments where individuals can connect, thrive, and be themselves, reducing isolation and fostering a sense of belonging. Platforming underrepresented artists by offering paid performance opportunities both on stage and online, ensuring fair compensation and visibility. Offering financial accessibility through a sliding-scale ticket model, making cultural and creative experiences available to all. Challenging industry norms by advocating for inclusivity, fair pay, and equal opportunities for marginalized creatives. Through its commitment to accessibility, equity, and community empowerment, Tyne and Queer continues to shape a more inclusive and supportive creative landscape in the North East.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders are residents of and visitors to Newcastle upon Tyne, and local people in the surrounding area. The director of the company has lived in Newcastle for over ten years and developed the business model for the organisation based on their experience of talking to other residents. We inform all attendees that we operate a "No One Turned Away for Lack of Funds" policy, allowing individuals to participate in our events for free or contribute what they can. This approach has helped us better understand the needs of our local community and how we can effectively support them. Through our research, we have found that attendees are more likely to return to our events when they know they are welcomed and valued, regardless of their financial situation. This reinforces the importance of creating an inclusive space where everyone has access, no matter their status or income. By personally visiting live music venues and assessing their accessibility for disabled musicians and attendees, including those with non-visible disabilities, we can identify potential barriers and advocate for necessary improvements. This proactive approach helps ensure that venues are truly inclusive, offering appropriate accommodations such as step-free access, accessible toilets, quiet spaces, and clear communication about accessibility features. By gathering firsthand information, we can: Provide accurate recommendations to musicians and attendees about which venues are genuinely accessible. Encourage venues to improve accessibility by highlighting areas that need adjustments. Ensure inclusivity in event planning by selecting spaces that accommodate a diverse range of needs.
