Meet The Neighbours - Aaron Duff

Aaron is an artist who works under the name Hector Gannet both solo and with his band. His work is often inspired by the local area; its natural beauty, industrial heritage and community.

Aaron says: “I’m proud to have been born and raised in North Shields.

"It’s a very special town, rich in history and a true sense of community, both of which I feel strongly connected to.

"It’s brilliant to see the area receiving the recognition it deserves as a real hotbed for creativity and artistic talent.”
