A SONGWRITERS LIFE
The stories behind Steve’s songs and international artists who recorded them. Steve describes an incredible adventure. There are many anecdotes in this presentation including the time he wrote a love song for two dolphins! The talk features insights into the music industry as well as before and after examples of some of the songs and artists who recorded them.[/vc_column_text][us_social_links size=”medium” facebook=”http://bit.ly/2QQZaor”][us_separator][vc_column_text]THE BATTLE OF STANHOPE
The “Battle of Stanhope” took place on December 7th, 1818. The Napoleonic wars had come to an end reducing the demand for lead for bullets; lead mining was an important industry in Weardale so dire poverty ensued. To make ends meet the lead miners took to hunting the ‘bonny moorhen’ which led to a famous battle between the poachers and the Prince Bishop’s gamekeepers. This talk tells two stories, one of the 1818 battle and the other a 2012 community play based on the story. Both are ripping yarns and a terrific adventure.[/vc_column_text][us_social_links size=”medium” facebook=”http://bit.ly/2QSVRgH”][us_separator][vc_column_text]STEEL TOWN:
Steve had been telling playwright Tom Kelly anecdotes about his time as an apprentice at Consett Steel Works. Then one day Tom handed Steve a synopsis for a new musical “Steel Town, a young man dreams of his escape from the Steel Works into the world of the music industry – a true story! This talk features images and video of times gone by and songs describing the end of Steel Making in Consett. There are laughs and tears![/vc_column_text][us_social_links size=”medium” facebook=”https://www.facebook.com/events/323446908238222/”][us_single_image image=”2272″ size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”100px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
