Music Saturday at the Shroppie

John Hardy

On this Saturday, 14 November, there will not be the usual acoustic music session in the Shroppie Fly.

Instead, there will be the annual Bagpipe and Hurdy-gurdy gathering which draws musicians from all over the country, and was instigated by the late John Hardy (pictured) many years ago.

It kicks off at around midday, and runs through until around 5pm.  It's usually a very busy session, so be prepared to squeeze in with assorted pipers and squawkers, and have your ears assailed with music from around the world.

The regular music session will be back on Saturday 12 December, with the usual selection of Christmas offerings.
