Andy Usher to Perform at High Tide Ball

As we are almost ready for our first ever annual fundraising ball, we thought that we would make another entertainment announcement. Andy Usher will now be joining our other local talent, Samantha Durnan to serenade guests with their music on the evening.

Andy is an accomplished singer and multi-instrumentalist from Newcastle who brilliantly performs an eclectic range of hits from artists such as Marvin Gaye and Ray Charles to Maroon 5 and Aloe Blacc.

Having studied music at both the Royal Northern College of Music and Leeds College of Music, Andy has become a master of his talent and is able to sing and play music from a multitude of genres. As a soloist Andy performs using a guitar and vocal loop pedal, which allow him to create the effect and atmosphere of a full band on his own. A true, modern day, one-man band! His talents really do have to be seen to be believed!

Andy has recently released his debut album named “…It’s Time”, which is a 7 track album of original music that he wrote and recorded himself and is available on his website to purchase. 

We are excited to see him play at our well-anticipated event and hope everyone enjoys his voice as much as we do!

All tables are now sold, however, you can still buy raffle tickets to help us continue raising money for the High Tide Foundation’s life-changing schemes and programmes to enrich the lives of young people on Teesside. You can find more information on this here.

"“This has been so educational, not only for the students but also the teachers; I had no idea of what really went on down here. This is great knowledge that I can take back with me and share with the other colleagues and students.”"

Teacher, Middlesbrough

""It was very informative and was definitely worth every minute. The speakers and staff were very kind and helped us all build a better understanding of the world of engineering. This was an insight I doubt I could have gotten anywhere else.""

Year 7 Student, Redcar

"“I am grateful for the help and life changing experience High Tide have gave me and believe that I wouldn’t have got this chance anywhere else. I believe that without high tide I would have never received or had an opportunity to gain valuable experience and knowledge”"

Year 6 Student, Middlesbrough

"“My experience with High Tide provided me with amazing opportunities and allowed me to meet very influential people who have helped me to gain confidence as well as skills I will take with me for the rest of my life.""
