As a Belgian student living in Newcastle, I only wish that in future I could relive the unforgettable time I’m having here. Currently, I’m doing my internship at NE1, a company whose role is to improve the commercial areas of the city centre. Believe me, there is nothing as impressive as walking down the street knowing that so much of the public realm improvements are thanks to the team at NE1. I have been working on projects including the NE1 Newcastle Motor Show, Freedom City, the renewal of Northumberland Street and many more. Beyond that, I have met many amazing people, including Thomas Peutz of Tyneside Cinema, Sammy Ameobi of Newcastle United, members of the Arab-British Chamber of Commerce, the actress Kim Tserkezie and many more. Several have become friends, others remain professional contacts. As I write these words, I arrive at the last chapter of my story with the city and will be so sad to leave it. Ladies and gentlemen, the UK does not stop in London, Manchester and Edinburgh, until you have yet discovered… Newcastle! Olivier TshinkoboFinance and Insurance (Odisee University, Brussels)

If you’re a fan of Reeves and Mortimer-style effervescence, Sean Turner is for you.

Fairground attraction When: June 16 to 24

Europe’s largest travelling fair is heading back to Newcastle...One of the most eagerly anticipated events in the North East, The Hoppings attracts tens of thousands of visitors every year.

This time, it is arriving on the Town Moor for an eight-day run of adrenalin-fuelled thrill rides, waltzers, hook-a-duck, candy floss and fortune telling.

With a history stretching back 135 years, organisers are promising this year will be better than ever, with the return of dare devil rides such as AIR, Extreme and Wild Mouse.

As every North Eastener knows, the Hoppings always opens on the Friday night with half price rides and occasionally the odd drop of rain, but that can’t dampen our love affair with the region’s favourite fairground. Plus, if you haven’t had your fill of the fair, then the Discovery Museum’s exhibition All The Fun Of The Fair: 135 Years of The Hoppings is continuing until October 31, charting the history of the event, which was first held on the Town Moor in 1882.

... How Magic Weekend puts Newcastle in the premier league of international sporting venuesSit back and relax folks, we can celebrate a multi-million pound payday and a hat-trick of record crowds who flocked to the city to enjoy the rugby league carnival that is Dacia Magic Weekend, co-sponsored by NE1.

The city has hosted Magic Weekend - six matches between 12 Super League teams over one amazing weekend - for the past three years at St James’ Park, bringing in a whopping £4m to the city’s economy each time.

The annual Super League two-day showpiece attracts fans and families with its carnival atmosphere, fancy dress and face paint, live music and street food, and brings in a big economic boost to Newcastle’s bars, restaurants and shops.

Newcastle is now the most popular destination in Magic Weekend history, putting the city on the international sporting map.

Saints and singers When: June 8

Alive and gigging When: June 20

A love of acid house, techno, the Beach Boys and classic English pop has made dance-pop band Saint Etienne charmingly unique. Growing up in the Home Counties, they have written 16 new songs about a day in the life of the doughnut of shires that ring the capital, all punctuated with bursts of BBC radio and train journeys. Sage Gateshead, £25.60, sagegateshead.com

Our new girl crush, Nikki Lane’s third album Highway Queen has seen the Nashville singer emerge as one of country and rock’s most gifted singer songwriters. Blending potent lyrics, unbridled blues guitars and vintage Sixties country-pop swagger, she resonates as easily with Lana Del Rey and Jenny Lewis fans as those of Neil Young and Tom Petty. There aren’t many singers, who could get away with the lyrics Yippee Ki Yay, but she does! Sage Gateshead, £13.10, sagegateshead.com

Controversial Californian punk rockers Dead Kennedys are best known for their highly politicised, often angry output and their battles over censorship. They’re on the road for a six-date tour of the UK, albeit without former frontman Jello Biafra after a falling out and a rather messy court case about royalties back in 1987.

CHAKA KHAN CHAKA KHAN

WWW.GETINTONEWCASTLE.CO.UK20 21 WWW.GETINTONEWCASTLE.CO.UK

Chaka Khan is playing one of only three UK gigs this year at the O2 on June 12. Tickets from £39.90 academymusicgroup.com. Altogether now… Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan…

She was incredible when she played Hoochie Coochie a couple of years ago, and now the legend that is Chaka Khan is back in town at the O2. Here, the fiestiest woman in funk and soul treats us to a piece of her mind...

KHAN DO ATTITUDE

On her dream dinner date: “The actor Idris Elba. You glean certain things from people on screen. Actors have to be great liars to do their job. But I can glean from Idris that he is a very good human being and a lovely looking man.”

On discovering Whitney Houston: “Her mum Cissy told me her daughter had a great voice so I asked her to come and sing backing vocals on my first solo album. I saw my younger self in her.”

On being addicted to alcohol, prescription drugs and heroin (and her modest outlook): “My struggles with addiction have made me the amazing human being I am now. I have no regrets. I’m genuinely surprised I’m still here, though.”

On I Feel For You: “I’m very bored of that song. I guess I’ll be singing it for the rest of my life, but I’ve had enough.”

On having kids: “I could be wrong, but I think they’re still a little angry because I wasn’t around when they were young. I think women shouldn’t have kids until they’re 40 because I don’t think we’re ready until then.”

On people rapping her name when they meet her: “If you see me in real life DO NOT rap my name to me! Just say hello like a regular person.”

On reality TV stars: “Today, everybody, their mother, and their grandmother is an entertainer for having absolutely no talent.”

On Kanye West sampling her record, Through the Fire: “That rather p***ed me off a little bit. I didn’t like sounding like Mickey Mouse on there.”

On President Trump: “I just keep it pure, simple. I’m not up there onstage to make a political statement. I’m up there to soothe and heal.”

On people who call her a diva (presumably when they read this interview): “If I pop everyone who calls me a diva, than I’m going to spend the rest of my life in jail.”

On what fans can expect from a Chaka Khan show: “I’m going to come onto the stage and I’m going to sing my ass off.”
