Kristy Cox Australia’s “Queen of Bluegrass”​
“Kristy shows risk-taking as an artist that comes with the confidence and experience to not only meet but exceed expectations of what a contemporary bluegrass singer can do.” Country Standard Time
“It’s a lovely album, demonstrating Cox’s penchant for seamlessly blending bluegrass and acoustic country”. Bluegrass Today
​
Kristy Cox and her band bring an exciting blend of high-energy, hard-driving bluegrass music and tight, soulful harmonies. The group’s combination of top-tier musicianship and traditional bluegrass influences creates performances that are both powerful and fun. Kristy Cox, with her standout vocals and guitar work, leads this ensemble, supported by an all-star cast of instrumentalists. Robbie Morris provides guitar and vocal support, while Cody Tinnin’s upright bass and Allan Sanders’ banjo add rich textures. Jason Bailey’s mandolin and Ellie Hakanson’s fiddle and vocals complete the group’s unique sound, delivering dynamic and colorful bluegrass music.
​
With her Australian roots and growing recognition in the U.S., Kristy Cox continues to elevate her songwriting and performance style, fueled by her collaboration with her band. Together, they bring vibrant bluegrass performances that connect tradition with Cox’s evolving songwriting. This new chapter in her career signals a bright future, blending deep musicianship with passionate delivery.
​
John Miller
A rare solo appearance (without his Country Casuals) by one of the UK’s leading purveyors of real authentic traditional country music Mr John Miller. He sings & writes traditional country music ; there’s no gimmicks and no new-fangled twists. Consequently, he’s the purest country singer practising his art on these islands, and one of the finest around.

This is a seated event.
Seated shows
We have three main seated layouts for shows;
-

​
Every seat on floor level and the first row on our seating rake is accessible to those who require a wheelchair space, an ambulant seat, or those who don’t have any access requirements. Thus, they will be bookable under the same ticket type and unreserved. When buying your tickets, we ask you to declare if you have any access requirements at the checkout so we can reserve any seats or space for those who need them.

These events tend to be theatre or dance performances performed on floor level or film screenings. The front row of our seating rake can be made into wheelchair spaces (up to 2) or ambulant seats (up to 4).

​
​Your journey and parking
Gosforth Civic Theatre is right next to (literally 2 minutes walk from) Regent Centre Metro Station and Bus Interchange, which means we're on a host of major transport links including Tyne & Wear Metro, Arriva, Stagecoach and Go North East bus services and via car from Great North Road. Please visit our YOUR VISIT section of our website to find directions and the best way to arrive at GCT.
​
We have a small, free car park but this will be very busy and part reserved for artists and staff, so it's best to avoid planning on parking directly at the venue. Please keep this in mind if you're driving over; we detail alternative parking on our YOUR VISIT page so check it out!
