Thread Name: Ballads at Morpeth Tomorrow
Subject: Ballads at Morpeth Tomorrow
The Morpeth Gathering kicks off today (details on-line if you don't already know), but Rapunzel & I will be leading a singaround tonight in The Alley, The Queen's Head at 8.00pm.

Tomorrow we'll be taking part in a concert of Border Music at the Chantry at 4.00pm. This features the masterful piping of MAT SEATTLE alongside a set of Border Ballads both Spooky & Otherwise Exciting from Rapunzel & Myself (including our reworking of my 1985 setting of THE WEE WEE MAN (Child #38) which can listen to HERE from yesterday's rehearsal session).

Also tomorrow TWILIGHT TALES with storytelling, ballad singing and general misrule from myself, Rapunzel and Jim Grant in The Millenium Garden at 7.30. This is always a cracking event but being MAY EVE (Beltane, The Even of Walpurgis etc.) you can expect a particularly spooky evening!

Hope to see you there - Sedayne.
