The Metro is in Central Station. Don't jump on the one for Sunderland as you will have to make a change at Heworth. Take it to South Shields. South Shields is the end of the line so you will not miss your stop. You will get out on King Street. Head east (or ask someone) and you will find yourself on Ocean Road which heads straight to the sea. You can't miss it. Popular for Indian Restaurants and the famous Colman Fish and Chips Shop. At the end of Ocean Road you will see Marine Park, with its lake and paddle boats, to your right. The seafront with the fun park is more or less in front of that. Keep going right along the seafront road and the next park along from Marine Park is Bents. The entrance is more or less opposite Minchella's Cafe. If there is a queue, I suggest you join it, as early as possible. There are other entrances into Bents Park, but I don't want to confuse you.

I think we on here all agree with every point made in this conversation.

The PR Joe is now receiving is priceless and well overdue.

Thank you so much for the fantastic report on the Hayward's Heath concert and the final of PSTOS. I felt as though I was there!

I know what you mean about hearing Joe singing and instantly knowing it is him. I (and all his fans) feel the same about Will Young. This is one of the things which ensures he - and Joe - will have a career which will outlast all the Olly Murs of this world.

A reminder from Joe:

Guys remember to listen to my takeover hour on @metroradiouk from 10am this morning!! x

Hubz is renowned for her essays and sharing her Joe experiences with everyone else. Makes you feel as though you were standing there along side her.

But this one was a tour de force

Thanks for the timely link, will tune in

Hubz - your reviews are the best, thank you.

Hayley is literally a 'roving' Joe-news reporter - she makes sure we all share in Joe's performances

Are you overwhelmed by Hayles essay (understandable ) or were you there? Hope you don't mind me asking.

Listening
