INTO 2002 WITH GORILLAS


A FAMILY of gorillas and giant puppets were among the highlights of New Year's Eve street entertainment yesterday. From about 11am, a free programme of music and street theatre heralded the start of one of England's biggest New Year celebrations, in Newcastle.

As the final touches were being made to last night's bonfire of character effigies, Northumberland Street hosted Creature Feature, a family of hairy gorillas accompanied by explorer Indiana Smith, followed by Lighthouse Theatre's giant puppets, Tango Peligroso.

There was also a display by stilt-walking percussionists from the group Boneshaker.
