Slung Low How To Festival Saturday 4 June

News for June from Slung Low   June Already! The team have been really busy getting ready for two big events this month. The first is this weekend - on Saturday 4th June it's our Fourth "How To...Festival". With the subtitle "Long Ago & Yesterday", take part in a day full of nostalgic reminisces and memories of bygone times. The activities and workshops begin at 11:00am with Indian Cookery, followed by Beginners Tin Whistle at 2pm. We'll provide everything you need for both of these. Just bring yourselves and a willingness to take part! At 3pm there's the energetic Dance The Roaring 20's where you can learn The Charleston and The Black Bottom Stomp with our choreographer Chris Wilson. Flat shoes for this one please! Then at 4pm there's the opportunity to immortalise your memories in our Memory Store Workshop with Bread and Goose. 5pm will see the return of Yorkshire Silents - A selection of short silent films with live piano accompaniment, including some of the earliest examples of hand-drawn animation and special effects, Yorkshire-made shorts by Holmfirth’s Bamforth and Company, and a two-reel comedy starring Marion Byron and Anita Garvin, the female Laurel and Hardy of the 1920s. Manjit's Kitchen will be providing dinner at 6pm, then we'll round off the day at 7pm with Vive La Variete - a brilliant hour showcasing some of the finest Cabaret Artists on the UK circuit, who'll give you an exclusive sneak preview of their Edinburgh Fringe shows. You can take part in as much or as little as you want, its entirely up to you. The full timetable with more detail is on our website here - as usual, there's a limited number of places for all workshops and performances so to reserve a ticket please email boxoffice@slunglow.org with the number of places you wish to book for each event and a contact telephone number.
