Canadian alt-country legends, Cowboy Junkies brought their slow-burn magic to Newcastle last night, filling the Civic Theatre with that unmistakable mix of hush, grit and beauty theyโ€™ve honed across four decades.

Thereโ€™s something striking about the way their songs inhabit a room โ€” not by force, but by presence โ€” and the Newcastle crowd seemed more than ready to be wrapped up in that quiet storm.

Our mate Juan Mahony was there to capture it all. You can check out a gallery of his photos below.
