Walking the Pipe Concert

Artist Kate Green's planned community walk in Hope Bagot on Saturday 26th October (see previous article) had to be called off due to torrential rain which had poured down non-stop from the previous evening. The afternoon at Knowbury Hall was terrific with Kate singing ballads and folk songs composed around tales and characters met on her walk of the Elan pipeline. Accompanied by Faith Brackenbury on fiddle and multi-talented John Neilson on a range of instruments we were entertained after delicious tea and cakes. In a side room was a museum exhibition with old photographs and artefacts from the building of the pipeline. Great entertainment!! Many thanks to Kate, Faith and John.
