Then it was the Humshaugh School Fair which was a great success in baking sunshine. Not quite a village show but this weekend the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hexhamfarmersmarket.co.uk\/\">Farmer&#8217;s Market<\/a> was in held in Hexham &#8211; they invited me to go and play and it was a lovely morning. Playlist included The Lea Rigges, Bobby Shaftoe and Cut and Dry Dolly &#8211; I&#8217;d love to know where the PRS license money went for those pieces (150yrs+ old). A heavy shower came in at midday so I ended with the Raindrop Waltz.<\/p>\n<p>Next week is the Three Churches Fete in Wall (Sat 16th July), Steve Cram is opening the show at 2pm and I&#8217;ll be playing a couple of half hour sessions in the church. I even do requests, feel free to ask!<\/p>\n<p>Afer a flurry in July, August is a bit quieter for me &#8211; with the exception of the truly tremendous <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bellinghamshow.com\/schedule.html\">Bellingham Show<\/a> on Bank Holiday Saturday (27th August). I&#8217;ll be sitting the judges chair this year for the Northumbrian Pipes competitions &#8211; this has a lot of meaning to me as it&#8217;s the first competition I won almost 20 years ago. <\/p>\n<p>Support your local show!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our local newspaper is the Hexham Courant and it&#8217;s always a joy to read.
