KAN at Weaverthorpe Village Hall on 23 February @7.30pm

Irish flute and whistle player Brian Finnegan and Scottish fiddler Aidan O’Rourke, front men with possibly the two most revered bands ever to have thrilled the folk scene, Flook and Lau, have joined forces with Yorkshire guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Ian Stephenson (Ian works with Kathryn Tickell), and Jim Goodwin, drummer and percussionist with the Halle and Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestras, to travel a daring and innovative new musical Path. The ‘new fab four’ have an alchemy that is wonderfully hypnotic and the perfect balance between grace and power, sunlight and shade. A uniquely thrilling union.

The Great Wold Valley Heritage Trail

This project has developed from the findings of the Luttons and Weaverthorpe Parish Plan which was carried out in 2008 and is a response to the communities’ desire for greater information about their environment. 

The heritage of the Great Wolds Valley, from Neolithic to Modern times, will be celebrated by the creation of a series of information boards located in villages from Wharram to Foxholes. As well as history and archaeology there will be sections on geology, flora and fauna plus maps, old and new, detailing the area. 

In addition to the boards a pamphlet will be produced to promote the Heritage Trail through Tourist Information Centres. To encourage involvement with, and understanding of, the local heritage a teaching package will also be developed for use in the local primary schools. 

We will be holding open days in the near future to enable people to come along and comment on the content of the boards and provide their contributions to the history of the area. We would like as many as possible to take part in this project as local knowledge is vital to the success of the Trail. 

We have obtained grants from LEADER and the Heritage Lottery Fund to finance the project and hope that it will be completed in 2012.
