Northumbumbrian Night Programme
 Northumbrian Music is more than northumbrian pipes, no matter how melodic and haunting the pipe melodies can be. Northumbria has a rich cultural heritage and tradition of community music making. By October, the harvest is in, the sheep clipped the autumn nights drawing in and it's a time when rural communities mark the passage of the seasons with traditional harvest suppers. There are tunes, recitations, special party pieces. So come along and join us for some harvest time magic and leave as friends.

Planning for the big day
Judging from the numbers of folk who came last year, (many who have now became club regulars), we expect a busy night. Although a few months away, planning for the event is now underway. So if there is a budding northumbrian piper out there do let us know as we would love to have you along. Just email or telephone. |
Northumbrian Culture
The rich culture of the area from the Coally Tyne to the rolling hills of the Cheviots, from the salty songs of the north sea fishing to the popular songs of the area, we hope to cover these. So do come along. |
