The organisers of Saturday’s (11th July) gig ‘The Alan Hull Songbook’ at the W.I. & Village Hall, would like to thank everyone who attended for the great sum of £1565.50 raised for local chharity, CancerCare, from bar, ticket and raffle sales. Thanks also to the enormous generosity of local businessesfor the raffle prizes, Bay Photography for the photos and themusicians (from as far away as Newcastle, and who played for light expenses only).
The amazing Dave Hull-Denholm band (Lindisfarne frontman) played songs from the Alan Hull songbook. Tony Farren from Windermere, opened the gig with his unique folk style and was very well received. Dave, Evan and the band had been setting up all day and played a 95 minute set of both well-known and lesser known songs from Alan’s repertoire – including Lady Eleanor, Run For Home, Clear White Light and many more with the audience singing along too!
A great night was had by all!
The full Lindisfarne band are touring now and visiting several local venues. See https://www.lindisfarne.com/

Arnside Helpways Transport is a scheme run by volunteer local drivers, helping those unable to drive to attend medical appointments locally. The areas covered are: Arnside, Milnthorpe, Grange, Carnforth, Kendal, Lancaster and, occasionally, Barrow, Blackpool and Preston. There is a modest, not-for-profit, charge for each journey.
Demand has greatly increased recently and they are in need of more drivers. If you are interested in joining the group, please contact the Secretary, David Gee at wood.edge@btinternet.com for a short application form. There is no minimum commitment, and you are unlikely to be called upon more than once or twice a month.
N.B. Please do NOT use this address for requesting transport.
