Information about The Bold Balladiers
|
|
| The Bold Balladiers were founded in 1995 by the
tenor Michael Goldthorpe to promote live concerts of the best popular Parlour
and Music Hall pieces of the Victorian and Edwardian period. In addition to
professional presentations in authentic costume throughout the country and in
London at the South Bank Centre, the group has an outreach programme for
schools (including special needs), colleges, hospitals and for the disabled.
The highly successful community outreach programme has visited hundreds of
British venues, and has been featured on BBC Radios 2 and 3. Concerts for music
societies have included Hartlepool, Hayward's Heath, Bognor Regis, Cuffley,
Itton, Long Melford and Stratford-upon-Avon English Music Festival. As well as
its own charitable work, the group has helped raise funds for other charities
such as UNICEF, SOS BOSNIA and FIREPOWER. In a relaxed informal atmosphere, all
are encouraged to participate. For news of the Second World War Project
