A NEWCASTLE city centre gallery has closed its doors as the artist behind the business says it was “one of the hardest decisions [he’s] ever made”.

'Gadgie' artist: Now's the right time to close gallery

Alexander Millar, best known for creating the iconic ‘Gadgie’ officially closed the doors of his Grey Street gallery for the final time.

As the lease on the business came to an end on July 19, Alexander explained that saying goodbye to the gallery was “like letting go of an old friend”.

But he also described how the timing felt right as the daily demands of client commissions and running two galleries - in Newcastle and Glasgow - made him realise that it was time to “take it a little more easy”.

While the closure is bittersweet, Alexander is looking forward to focusing on the things he loves most: painting, travelling, and enjoying a more flexible lifestyle.

We'll right the wrongs: Sam

RUGBY UNION Sam Underhill insists England must block out the outside noise as they look to regroup in time for the next assignment of a Guinness Six Nations that has unravelled after only three rounds. Ireland's record 42-21 victory at Allianz Stadium that followed an equally emphatic defeat by Scotland at Murrayfield has removed Steve Borthwick's team from title contention just a fortnight after they set out to seize France's crown. An inept performance has been universally criticised and Underhill insists England must stay united ahead of their clash with a vastly improved Italy on March 7, a fixture ripe for a Stadio Olimpico shock.
