Gorton Monastery, Manchester


A little Sunday jaunt for StringFing up to the magnificent Pugin designed Gorton Monastery in Manchester. We were there for the annual poetry competition arranged by Adoption Matters Northwest.  As this year's theme was of 'belonging'  we performed a song of Terry's commissioned for the event – We Belong Together. We also played a set of traditional English tunes which made a pleasant change from the frantic Irish and bluegrass tunes I normally play. It was a joy to play in such beautiful surroundings with a huge natural reverb (makes a change from the pub).

The photo above shows StringFing (honest!) sitting behind a curtain of poets ready to launch into an encore of 'We Belong Together'.
