Semibreve Collective: Music at The Peace Garden
The Peace Garden, Minsteracres Retreat Centre, Consett, DH8 9RT
After a successful outdoor concert there back in 2021, I'm delighted to be back at Minsteracres for this special Sunday afternoon event with Annie Ball and Bronwen Davies-Jones. Bring your own picnic and chair, sit back and let our blend of voice, accordion, flute and guitar ease you through a summer’s afternoon. Our set will include selected songs from our various solo projects, a sneak preview of some material from our Howay The Lasses project, some instrumentals and all accompanied by an insight into the stories and ideas that lie behind the music. Minsteracres, just off the A68 above Riding Mill, is a 110 acre estate that formerly belonged to the Silvertop family. It’s a very special place with historic buildings, lots of open space, and a stunning parkland designed by John Dobson who was a contemporary of the great Capability Brown. The grounds have a real sense of calm and tranquility about them and we’re delighted to bring you an afternoon of live music in the Peace Garden - a lush and relaxing space just down from the main house and which adjoins the estates original walled garden. It’s the perfect space to spread out and enjoy a picnic accompanied by our performance. If you’ve never been to Minsteracres before we just know you’re going to love it. Come and enjoy a musical afternoon out and discover some new surroundings into the bargain. More event details at the ticket link below.
