STAMP Celebrates 20 Years with Gala Dinner
South Tyneside Academy of Musical Performance (STAMP) marked an incredible 20 years with a special Gala Dinner on Saturday 19 September 2026.

STAMP marked an incredible 20 years with a special Gala Dinner on Saturday 19 September 2026.
Held at the Holiday Inn, Boldon, the evening brought together members, families, staff, friends and supporters from across the groups 20 year history for a wonderful night of celebration, entertainment and memories, as well as brining back some classic STAMP songs from the early days too!
The Gala Dinner was a chance to reflect on everything STAMP has achieved over the past two decades from the many productions and performances we have staged to the hundreds of young people who have been part of the STAMP family over the years. Guests enjoyed a fantastic evening which included performances from our talented members and staff, alongside plenty of opportunities to look back, celebrate and enjoy the occasion together.
We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the evening so special. The continued support of our members, parents, families, staff, volunteers and supporters is what has allowed STAMP to grow and thrive over the past 20 years.
A special thank you must also go to everyone who performed during the evening. Our performers did a fantastic job and provided the perfect entertainment for such an important milestone. We would also like to thank the team at the Holiday Inn, Boldon for looking after us so well and helping us create such a memorable evening.
Twenty years is an incredible milestone for STAMP. What began in 2006 has grown into a community that generations of young people and their families have been part of creating friendships, building confidence, developing talent and, most importantly, sharing a love of performing.
Thank you to everyone who has played a part in the STAMP story over the last 20 years, here’s to the memories we have made, the people who have made them possible, and the next chapter of STAMP.
