SEPTEMBER
Friday 15. 7.30pm Youlgreave, Derbyshire; Fountain View Books in the old YHA building.
Pete Castle tells Derbyshire Songs & Stories: Tickets £10 (inc buffet food) from the cafe/bookshop or by email. Drinks available.
Wednesday 27th 9pm. On Zoom. LET’S GO FOR A WALK:
in the Bedtime Stories slot for The Last Tuesday Society and the Viktor Wynd Museum (It’s not for children and it’s not a Tuesday but still!) in fact it’s billed as a lecture but: “In this programme Pete will tell a selection of stories in which walking is the key to everything else which happens. The stories come from Britain, Europe and North America and cover a range of time from the Ancient Greeks to yesterday. He will also include a few traditional songs. He is spoilt for choice with those because they all seem to start “As I walked out one mid-summer morning…” or “As I was a-walking one morning in May…”
It will be a programme including the light and the dark, the serious and the humorous and a bit of the supernatural.”
