Chris, Bobbie and Stuart are spending the afternoon working on a section for a the main “Down Your Way” piece, with a rather smaller group of children than had been hoped for; I think we’ve come to the conclusion that this has more to do with the sun than the attraction of music making. The spring has certainly arrived (the last time I said that it started snowing).
Bobbie has started with a list of words that came out of session that I led with Chivenor Primary School when they last visited Switch Radio. The aim of that session was to produce names of places and things that belong to Castle Vale and to Castle Vale alone, and this afternoon we’re hoping we might end up with 16 or 32 bars to slot into our main musical piece.
Apparently Topcliffe is a middle-aged seller of Time-Travelling-T-Shirts. (two for a tenner)
We’ve set the date for the performance: June 4th at the Castle Vale residents’ centre with two full day get-togethers before hand, and we’ll be pulling performance elements together over Easter.
