It's Monday, it must be time to perform SEA DOGS!
Today, with the Treherbert Brass Band, performing Sea Dogs before a large audience of children. We were in the Maritime Museum in Swansea, a fitting setting for the pirate story, with my words, and the wonderful music of Gareth Wood.
Absolutely everyone was dressed as a pirate.
Here we are rehearsing in front of a case full of rather lovely model ships.
The Band looked magnificent.
Here's one of my favourite shipmates.
I can't think of a better way to spend a Monday afternoon.
Thanks to the Museum, to the marvellous Band, of course to Charlotte Griffin from Ty Cerdd, who commissioned Sea Dogs, and continues to support it. Thank'ee, matey.
Appropriately we watched several episodes of Captain Pugwash on YouTube over the weekend - now where did I leave that hook...
ReplyDeleteSounds tremendous.
Captain Pugwash - now there's a fine pirate! Argh!
ReplyDeleteYou can hear Sea Dogs on Soundcloud. The link is in my post of 22 June called Sea Dogs, A Jolly Nautical Tale. I can't get the link to work in this reply.
One more performance on July 28th, then I hang up my pirate costume for a while :-)
