Cinema & Fish n Chips

The answer is YES. So on Friday 12th you can visit the Fish & Chip van (hope the queue is not too long) and watch the film. The best news of all is that it is a sing along version of the film, so come on all you budding singers – join in for a bit of fun.
Book this date in your diary – Saturday 20th 4pm – Christmas Film (details to follow)
Dates for December Please.

Parwich Guizers and Mummers have been performing their ancient play for the last 25 years. This guizing play used to be performed in Biggin-by-Hartington in the 1930s and perhaps for many years before.

- 1pm – Outside the Opera House
- 1.15 – The Club house (opposite Opera House)
- 1.45 – Grove Hotel – The Slopes
- 2.30 – Spring Gardens
- 3.00 – Kings Head – Market Place
- 3.30 – Beltane, Hall Bank
This is followed by a tour of some of our local pubs, starting at 8pm:

Classical Concert in Ashbourne by London Concertante
Posted in Events on Sunday November 30, 2008| Leave a Comment »
Last year the London Concertante played in Ashbourne for the first time, their lead violinist has moved to Carsington so it was a ideal venue. There were a few of us in the audience from Parwich and we thoroughly enjoyed a Christmas Baroque Concert. The church was full, so it is worth prebooking your seats either online or by ringing.

Organ concert at Fenny Bentley church this Saturday
Posted in Church, Events on Thursday November 27, 2008| Leave a Comment »
Rush to Fenny Bentley church after Strictly Come Dancing this Saturday to support a concert on the newly-refurbished church organ, which begins at 7.30 pm.
Christian Cartwright of ‘Pipes in the Peak’ at Dovedale Garage will join with Chris Dell of Ashbourne and Martyn Davis of Hulland and Tissington churches, to present a lively and varied programme of classical and modern music. According to Henry Groves and Son, the organ builders who carried out what was the first refurbishment of the organ in over 100 years, it is an excellent instrument which should now be good for at least another century.
They have certainly done an excellent job and we hope that many people will come to celebrate this milestone in the life of St. Edmund’s church. Admission to the concert is free but donations for the church will be invited.

Parwich School fund raise for Children in Need
Posted in Events, School on Monday November 10, 2008| Leave a Comment »
Parwich School Council hope to support Children in Need by collecting your 1p and 2p coins, to create a trail around the school building from the front door around the building and back again.
There are over a billion 1p and 2p coins currently in circulation in the UK. Not all of these are in the catchment area for Parwich Primary School but how about getting most of those that are to the School for Friday 14th November.
Rocking for Remembrance
Posted in A52s, Events, People, tagged Legion, Music on Saturday November 8, 2008| 8 Comments »
This evening the A52s burst upon the Parwich music scene with a sophisticatedly raw blend of rock, folk and almost anything else you could think of … The Legion Hall was probably way above its audience limit for this new sound whose edge was so cutting you could hear it through much of the village – as you can see below –

The Rock God Song Book has been studied and that tricky 20 minute bass solo has been mastered! All they need now is an audience without any eggs or tomatoes.
See you at The Legion 8.30pm to 9ish this Saturday night. Admission free!!!!!
Be there or be unaware!
The A52s discover a long-lost Nolan Sisters score.
Gunpowder, Treason and Plot
Posted in Alsop, Events, History on Wednesday November 5, 2008| 1 Comment »
Tradition has it that after Guy Fawkes was captured and the Roman Catholic Gunpowder Plot failed in 1605, one of his fellow conspirators hid from King James’ men here at Manor Farm in Alsop en le Dale.
This is perhaps a little surprising as some fifty years earlier the Alsop family (lords of the manor) were active Protestants, sheltering a radical Protestant cleric from Queen Mary’s men next door at the Hall.
Guy Fawkes’ failure to blow up the Houses of Parliament and King James has been celebrated with bonfires on the 5th of November ever since. If you know any more about the identity of the 1605 conspirator at Manor Farm and local links to the original Plot, or about associated local customs, or take any photographs of tonight’s celebrations do send them to parwich@hotmail.co.uk.

There were some very scary creatures prowling the streets of Parwich this evening! If you were brave enough to open your door, you were highly likely to be confronted by a monster, a witch or a vampire! Well done to all who transformed into creepy creations. We were all very very spooked!
If you have any creepy pics, email them to parwich@hotmail.co.uk and we’ll put them here on the ‘gruesome gallery’!

Meet The A52s!
Posted in 2008, A52s, British Legion, Events, People, Posts of Note on Monday October 20, 2008| 1 Comment »
If you took a Tuesday evening stroll along Smithy Lane this Summer, you may have heard the sound of clinking beer bottles, manic strumming, improvised accordions and uncontrollable laughter. This, ladies and gentlemen, was the sound of The A52s creating music. In the first week, the band learned some notes. In the second week, they tried putting them in the right order. As the weeks went by, these top musicians learned enough notes to do a debut gig! Terrifying huh?! We think so too!
The band turned down frantic offers from lesser venues such as the NEC and the O2 Arena, opting instead for the prestigious yet intimate Parwich Legion. The band will appear 8.30 to 9ish on Saturday 8th November. Make a note in your diaries for an evening of fine entertainment. Free admission (in fact, the band may be paying you)!
The A52s is Parwich’s foremost folk-rock band, comprising 4 musicians at the top of their game (which happens to be Snap):
The A52s Publicity Shot
Rob ‘Squeezebox’ Francis (concertina accordian, guitar & vocals)
Lewis ‘Bassnote’ Noble (piano accordian, guitar & vocals)
Chris ‘Deliverance’ Radlett (banjo, 12 string guitar & vocals)
Mike ‘The Ax’ Hughes (guitar & vocals)
