Thread Name: Yorkshire-themed folk concert
Subject: Yorkshire-themed folk concert
Forgive the shameless plug (is there any other kind?), but I'm staging a concert as part of FEVA 2006 (Knaresborough Festival of Entertainment and Visual Arts) which might be of interest to some of you. It's billed as follows:
"An evening with Blind Jack and friends"
featuring CHRIS SIMPSON of MAGNA CARTA (a solo set of his Dales-themed songs)
An evening of Yorkshire folk lore, music, songs, dance and drama. Support includes special guest BELLA HARDY (BBC Young Folk Awards finalist) and NICK HALL. Also featuring the Knaresborough Mummers, Swan & Porter, Pateley 'PRATS' longsword team, Joe Nicholson and the Blind Jack Band
Tuesday 15th August, 7.30pm, Frazer Theatre, Knaresborough. Tickets £7.00 (concessions £5.00)* available from Knaresborough Tourist Information Centre (to book by credit card phone 01423 866886) www.feva.info
*This is a not-for-profit concert staged in support of the "Blind Jack" project, a Yorkshire folk song initiative in aid of Henshaws Society for Blind People.
