Our lovely folk at Parkhead Resource Centre in Ashington enjoyed a bit of live, traditional folk music when they were visited by North East band, The Strolling Bones.
The visit by the duo has become an annual tradition for our adults with learning disabilities at the Centre and they never tire of singing along to some of the well-known songs they play.
“I’m Gonna Be (500 miles) by the Proclaimers has to be one of their absolute favourites,” said Parkhead manager, Claire Graham. “It has everyone joining in, and the concert atmosphere is fabulous.”
As well as letting their hair down to lots of the popular tunes, our residents enjoyed a talk by the band on their history and the different instruments they play. … Rumour has it that there are a few talented musicians among our Parkhead regulars, too!
