BLOGGY BIT! January 2012

And a HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my readers!

Welcome to 2012 and a few highlights for the coming months.

Rochdale Libraries are celebrating the birth of Lord Byron (who was, amongst other things, Baron Rochdale!) in the Town Hall on Saturday 21st January all afternoon. Lots of interesting talks, displays and dancing going on, plus music from Mark and Chris and some contemporary 18th century dialect from me. It’s free I think. Then my annual charity performance in support of the RNLI on Friday 27th January in Chorley. They’ve moved it to St Chad’s Hall in Whittle Le Woods to get more people in and I will be supported by Trio Threlfall and Peter & Barbara Snape so it should be an excellent night for a worthy cause. 6th February sees Leyland Historical Society hosting a performance of my Lancashire Cotton Famine show with the original cast! And then to Longton Sports Club on 10th Feb at Paul Russell’s Lancashire Night in aid of St Catherine’s Hospice.

Wednesday afternoon 22nd February and I present an “Afternoon Music Hall” with Mark Dowding and the inimitable Colonel Custard!! Food and drink, music and entertainment for all. Back there on Saturday 3rd March for the first barn dance of the year with the Old Pequliar Band’s new line up.

So there you go, plenty for you to watch, hear or join in with to get us going for a brand new year

All the Best
