Spennymoor and Ferryhill brass colliery bands will make a special appearance at the Première of ‘Kynren – an epic tale of England’ when it returns to Bishop Auckland on 1st July 2017. The bands have already joined forces with Eleven Arches, the production company behind the openair spectacular, to make a special recording of the commemorative tune ‘Gresford’, also known as The Miners’ Hymn, captured in the magnificent surroundings of Durham Cathedral. The recording provides a poignant addition to the sound track which has been re-worked and enhanced for the 2017 show.
The two bands will team up once again to celebrate the opening of the new season of Kynren, entertaining the audience with a range of classic tunes as they arrive at the Tribune to take their seats for the opening performance of the 17-show run. Anne-Isabelle Daulon, Chief Executive of Eleven Arches said: “We are delighted that both Spennymoor and Ferryhill colliery bands will join us to welcome our audience at the Première of our second season. The addition of evocative live music from two of the North East’s best community brass bands will not only help us to celebrate our opening night but will truly cement Kynren as a celebration of the spirit of the North East, whilst adding another exclusive treat to mark the beginning of a magical second season.”
To ensure the new season starts with a bang, Eleven Arches has planned added details to the Première on 1st July including extra firework features as well as a free audience goodie bag to help guests to fully immerse themselves in the carnival atmosphere of the show.
