SUMMONER'S TALES...
"Whenever I come back to Newcastle I don't recognise the place, the roads are new, I get lost and my memories are sort of bittersweet. I have some great memories and sad memories and they come welling back, so it's never just coming to Newcastle - it's always a big emotional thing for me."
