Wednesday 28 February 2024 THERE IS NO NEED TO BOOK FOR THIS EVENT
We look forward to welcoming Old English back to Heaton History Group. They will tell us about the history of some iconic north-eastern folk songs, perform them and sometimes give us a chance to join in the chorus. You will be familiar with many of them but may not know so much about their composers or the circumstances in which they were written and performed.
Old English
Old English comprises Pete Cryer and Alan Giles, who will be familiar to most Heaton History Group members – as he is our Chair. Pete and Alan have been singing and playing together for nearly 60 years. They specialise in finding new interesting arrangements for their voices.
AGM
This talk will be preceded by a very short AGM. Papers will be sent to members beforehand. If you have any items for the agenda, please email Chris Jackson before the end of January. Also contact Chris or any committee member if you would be interested in joining the committee – we have vacancies!
Our Venue
This event will take place at St George’s United Reformed Church on Newton Road, High Heaton NE7 7HP. It is on the corner with Boundary Gardens, the same block as Heaton Stannington’s football ground, Grounsell Park.
There are excellent public transport links including the numbers 18, 38, 52 and 553, which stop right by the church.
There is car parking on the surrounding streets.
Booking There is no need to book. Just turn up on the night.
