Pupils from Newminster, Chantry and Dr Thomlinson Middle Schools joined the King Edward VI Ceilidh Band to play for an event on Saturday 18th March 2023 at KEVI. The Cheviot Ceilidh was well attended by the local community who danced to music played by the band with Elaine Carter calling the dances.

Prior to the event, the pupils in the joint ceilidh band enjoyed a workshop with local folk musician, Alistair Anderson, on Tuesday 7th March.

“It was lovely to see the Morpeth community come together to enjoy a night of folk music and dancing. Young and old were on the dance floor with smiling faces!”
