Where will I be next Wednesday, 22 June?
Only joining some amazing school children, their teachers and Kim Harding of the Northern Dales Richard III Group in Barnard Castle for the first performance of what looks to be a truly remarkable musical about King Richard!

Full details of the production can be found on Facebook on the Northern Dales Group’s page – here.
If you can make it to the public performance on 6th July, I should definitely try to go along! And if you know of a school or youth group who’d be interested in doing a production, I’m sure Kim would be pleased to hear from you.
Loyalty binds us!
