Rockin’ the park 2012

Rockin' The Park 2012

Take a look at this great line up for Rockin’ The Park 2012 on Friday 17th August at Clumber Park. I’m looking forward to getting a few friends together for what looks like a trip down memory lane for all of us. Curved Air and Emerson Lake and Palmer (ELP) were a couple of early favourites with Keith Emerson and Francis Monkman (not forgetting Brian Eno and Rick Wakeman) being responsible for my interest in electronic music. I last saw Curved Air play live at Folkestone in 1975 while Hawkwind brings back memories of a very crowded balcony at Sheffield City Hall. Add to this mix Focus, The Strawbs and Brit Floyd & it all looks like a good night out.

Just hope the weather is better than it is now – I still remember the Buxton Rock festival in 1973!

Throapham House Roof Restoration

admin — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 11:39:18 +0000

We’re planning to do some essential restoration work on the older sections of the roof and chimneys during August 2012. This means that scaffolding will be erected around the main part of the house during this period and that roofers will be working during most of the day.

We understand this might affect your stay as follows…

Access to front door via front gate only – the side gate leading from the car park may be closed;
Some parking restrictions due to the presence of scaffolding;

Note that the Dewhurst bedroom should be mostly unaffected by this work.

We would like to apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Robert has been invited to play ‘cello in The Easter Anthem – Love’s Young King at a performance of the People’s Passion at All Saints’ Church, Aston on Maundy Thursday (5 April, 7:00pm).

This is part of a weeklong event broadcast across Radio 4 and local radio involving choirs across the country.

Robert said…

“I’m delighted that choirmaster Paul Hudson has remembered me. It has been a while since I played ‘cello in a choral work so I’m really looking forward to joining the choir in this exciting project.”
