Britain's What's On Event Guide
Make Music Days
We are really pleased that some of our musical friends from Northern Roots, Hop Skiffle & Jump and Kiddar’s Luck will be with us as part of Make Music Day for relaxed acoustic sessions playing in the Heritage Centre Courtyard (weather dependant).
Expect to hear some of the most experienced folk singers and musicians in the North East, as they bring with them local songs and tunes about life in the North East.
Make Music Day is a celebration of music making around the world. Every year people and organisations from 1,000 towns and cities in 120 countries create events to share their music.
More about these musicians:
Northern Roots – are made up of Bill Elliott, Kevin Youldon and Katherine Raine.
Bill and Kevin are well known folk musicians,, they’re also part of the Cloth Cap Temperance Band. They’re joined by Katherine to form their new band ‘Northern Roots’. Katherine is a primary school Teacher, originally from Yorkshire and is a fine musician and a member of the ‘New Tyneside Orchestra’.
Hop, Skiffle and Jump play authentic 50s songs they tell the story of how skiffle changed the world of popular music.
Led by well known folk singer and guitarist Ken Tonge, their show recreates the lively, fun, join-in spirit of music in the late 50s. Ken is accompanied by Julie on fiddle, William on tea chest bass, Fred on guitar, Alison on washboard and another Alison dancing to their music.
Expect to do a bit of singing along, listening to some funny anecdotes, joining the band table banging, foot stamping, skat singing and hand clapping for their finale, “Mama don’t allow”!
Kiddars Luck are 3 musicians, John Dixon, Colin McLelland and Mike Davidson – who specialise in traditional music from the region. They also write their own songs and tunes.
They have been singing and playing for more than 25 years but recently have come together in a newly formed ‘Kiddars Luck’ specialising in 3 part harmony singing
