MUSIC, FILM AND FUN.BANDSTAND EVENTS ON MAY 18TH AND MAY 20TH

News of a couple of events ....On May 18th we will be joined by the girls and boys from Bram Longstaffe Nursery, who will visit the Park and the Bandstand as part of their introduction to the town they live in.
They'll tour the Park with their families and teaching staff, ace Fiddler and Piper Carolyn Francis will play some music under the Bandstand, and we'll get to talk about our project and arrange some more conversations for our archive.

On the 20th, we will be in the park from 1.45 until 2.45 with Carolyn and her colleagues Mary Dunsford ( Harp) and Bev Whelan (Flute), and then by young musicians from Carolyn's Furness  Folk Academy, which draws on the many schools groups with which Carolyn plays and tutors in and around Barrow in partnership with Cumbria Music Hub. It's great to be able to provide a stage for these boys and girls, and we are very grateful to Carolyn for bringing them to the Park bandstand.


And as if this were not  enough...we are screening a video copy of the 1960 Barrow Documentary, made by a local filmmakers group including our friend Brian Crawford, who has given us the ok to screen the film in the Mawson Room during the day.

Look out for more information and signage...including a few of these vinyl banners which will surround the Bandstand, each telling a different part of the story of the Park.

And come and say hello.
