A Canny Neet Oot in Warkworth

25 Oct 2024 - 7:30pm to 10:00pm

Repeats every day until the 25th October 2024

An evening of varied Northumbrian entertainment featuring Far Horizon Voices will be performed at Warkworth’s Memorial Hall on Thursday and Friday, 24th and 25th October starting at 7.30 pm. The Bar will open at 7.00pm.

The shows will feature local artistes, including the wonderful Amble Sword, who will be locking longswords in the traditional circular dance; singer and folk icon Peter Burnham; Hauxley’s Poet in Residence Paul Mein; and the premiere of “Bill Stanley - A Sailor’s Story” a maritime comic melodrama loosely adapted by Dave Stockwin from Wilson’s Tales of the Borders, and performed by Warkworth based Far Horizon Voices.


Dave, who is directing and acting in the script-read play said: “Set in the early 19 th century the story centres on love-struck Tyneside merchant seaman Bill and his lass Mary Danvers whose desire to be together seems destined to fail thanks to a mixture of evil intent, blackmail and comic stupidity.”
Proceeds from the shows will be donated to the RNLI.
