The Singing Heritage Tour June 2013

The Singing Heritage group was determined to fulfil its mission of preserving and reviving the traditional songs of our area. This involves both capturing melodies that risk fading away and passing these on to a new generation.

One Saturday in June 2013 a red bus full of group members  travelled throughout Alnwick District both performing at, and hearing performances from local schools participating in the project. A great time was had by all, as may be seen from the following photo scrapbook:
