Christmas Extravaganza at the Sage:

The annual blockbuster concert on the afternoon of Sunday, December 15th, is a ‘not to be missed event’. The Friends are keen to secure tickets as soon as possible for a party from the Sedgefield area. Supporters of the Friends will be particularly welcome. Tickets are £19 and early application is vital so the Friends’ group can be seated together. Transport to the Sage will be left to individuals but lifts may be available for those without cars.

Sedgefield Book Festival a roaring success
The now annual Sedgefield Book Festival, ‘Bookends’ has once again been a roaring success. It opened with ‘Across the Pond’, an evening of music and poetry from local performers featuring songs and poems from American artists. Performers included the Holkey Folkies, the John Wrightson Band, Tom Guest and Kayleigh Laverick, Lirica, Norma Neal, Terry West and Jean Hewling, Trevor Bond and Whiskey and Wine. The variety of music performed was inspiring and a great way to open the festival.
What followed was a wonderful series of events, poetry readings, workshops and readings that have inspired local people to put pen to paper, pick up a book or attempt their own creative ways of developing their skills.
Thanks and praise must go to organisers Norma Neal and Sarah Guest who have worked tirelessly to put together this brilliant event. Pictures below are from Sarah Guest.
