My friend, Bryan Jackson and I get together whenever possible to play through his wonderful arrangements of classical and folk music. I got to know Bryan through the Monkseaton Morris Men for whom he played fiddle and danced for many years. We will be providing music for the RNLI weekly coffee morning, in the form of carols arranged by Bryan for two fiddles. All proceeds will go to the RNLI – come along and get into the festive spirit!
Songs, Tunes, Dances, Stories, Rituals and Customs of Midwinter, Christmas and the Turning of the Year
Stewart Hardy (fiddle & vocals), Grace Smith (fiddle, vocals & clogs) and David Oliver (accordion & vocals) bring to Core Music their lively, cheerful, interactive and (at least partly!) spontaneous look at the festive season, with seasonal snacks and warming drinks.
Entry by donation on the door, but please book in advance! Suggested donation £10; less for concessions. All donations are voluntary, but they help us carry on making music accessible for people in our community.
To book your place, just call 01434 601993, drop into the shop, send a message on Facebook or email info@coremusic.co.uk.
In the Community Centre in Seaton Sluice there will be another of the extremely popular “Geordie Nights” featuring such lumineries of the North East folk scene as Benny Graham, Jim Mageean, Stu Luckley, Barry and Ingrid Temple with more possibilities yet to be confirmed. Lurking somewhere in the shadows will be somebody resembling myself doing their best to hide their Midland origins by speaking very little! To date these have sold out fairly quickly so please do reserve your tickets (£10) sooner rather than later (0191 237 1136 / 0191 237 5163).
Join David Oliver, Stewart Hardy, Laura Connolly and Grace Smith for a very merry seasonal celebration. Featuring accordion, fiddles, flute, song, dance & not forgetting the jingle stick, buckets, shovels & colanders!
“……the kind of musical event where everyone leaves smiling with a feeling that Christmas is indeed just around the corner.”
Please join the Facebook Group to receive booking information for the concert. Suggested minimum donation £10 per head.
Places are limited (first come first served!), must be pre-booked & will not be available on the door.

Less than a month to go to our Arrangement Techniques course for mixed instruments, which will be my 100th residential JSArts course!* 🥳There is just one place left if you would like to join us. Get in touch quickly, so we can book you in with the venue - the beautiful Shepherds Dene near Riding Mill in Northumberland.We will be learning a lovely selection of tunes, and choosing which to work on - exploring options for introductions & endings, varying instrumentation, creating harmony lines and different ways of accompanying the tune to produce alternate soundscapes and narratives. With a limited number of participants, there will be plenty of time to explore ideas from everyone. All instruments are welcome, and if you require notation in different keys or clefs, that can be provided. Dots and audio files are provided in advance, and any recordings from the weekend are sent on afterwards.*There will be cake! 🎂😊This content isn't available at the moment
When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.4 days ago
