This year’s guests: David McCracken, Beth Chamberlain, Graham Dick and I’ll be strapping the pipes on for a few tunes as well – Songs, Stories, Tunes & much Humour – marvellous.

Clock’s Back Ceilidh – 30th Oct
Time for another village dance – it’s the Clocks Back Ceilidh on the 30th October.You’ll have an extra hour to recover!
We have the Wall Star Village Band playing for the evening, champion clog dancers & Northumbrian pipes. Food is provided in the form of a Hog Roast supper (vegetarian alternatives available). As ever there is no bar (takes up too much dance space!) – bring your own drinks.
The event is being hosted to support the Friends of Humshaugh School (the local first school) and adult tickets are £10. Everything starts at 8pm in Wall Village Hall (map)
If you would like to come, please do book tickets in advance – it helps with organising the food! If you can’t come, please do tell your friends!
