New Year’s Day Get Together
Posted in Church, Music on Thursday December 31, 2009| 1 Comment »
Why not pop along to Church sometime tomorrow between 11am and early pm, for a few minutes or a couple of hours. A chance to catch up on the New Year’s news and gossip with some delightful music playing in the background. If you have any food or drink that you want to use up, (the diet regime starts tomorrow – so it’s a good chance to remove all that wicked temptation) bring it along and share with others. If your cupboards are bare, then pop along for a bite in exchange for a donation to help the Church.

After The Gold Rush.
Posted in 2009, Arts, Church, Events, Films, Music, Posts of Note on Sunday November 15, 2009| 2 Comments »
Thanks to Kevin S. for the following report.
NOTE: There are a couple of videos of Saturday night’s screening – complete with live organ accompaniment and audience laughter! – at the end of this post. Click “Continue Reading” to access them.
The number of cars parked around the green suggested that something very different and special was awaiting us, as we walked to St Peter’s last night to watch The Gold Rush, with organ accompaniment by Christopher Harrison. There were plenty of familiar faces sitting in the pews, but there were very many new faces too. It soon became apparent that the plethora of enthusiastic visitors had come from film clubs around Derbyshire, having heard about last night’s unique event.
The rapturous applause for Christopher’s accompaniment on organ and piano, and for the sound effects created by Martin and Arnold, were clear testament to a remarkable evening. What’s more, over £200 was raised for the church restoration fund.
The atmosphere of the darkened church, the excellent silent film and Christopher’s witty organ playing combined to magical effect. Oh, and there were great nibbles (from local cooks) and wine (courtesy of Waitrose) during the interval too.

Hi, I’ve been asked many times by people in the village to let them know when the band are playing in Ashbourne again, so I’m trying to let as many people know as I can, and I thought the Parwich website would be as good a place as any.
Many Thanks-Colin Keyworth

Martin C writes:
We had a very successful evening. With an audience of over 110, we raised over £500. £100 will go to St Peter’s Choir in Nottingham (who are raising funds to build a new organ
for their church), and the rest will go to the Parwich St. Peter’s Restoration Fund.
Patti B writes:
This really was a very enjoyable evening. We are very lucky to have had such excellent musicians and choristers in our tiny village. If they had been performing in London, we would have had to pay a small fortune for tickets. As it was, our tickets even covered a glass of wine and nibbles. Thank you to everyone that organised and helped.

Illegal Rave
Posted in 2009, Music, Police, Posts of Note on Tuesday September 15, 2009| 2 Comments »
Thank you to a local resident for supplying the following:
Thought it may be of interest to let you know that on Saturday night (and very early hours of Sunday) 12th September in a quarry near Roystone Grange/Minninglow there was an illegal rave.
The music was extremely loud and started around 1am and continued to 5.30am. We reported it to the police and they have confirmed today (Monday) that it was an illegal rave and they have gained intelligence on it and have names and vehicle details but are unable to do anything.
It is perhaps worth people being vigilant as I think the organizers send someone round scouting for a good place a couple of nights before the event.
There are no further details on the Derbyshire Police website, but if you have anything to report the contact numbers are
- Emergency – 999
- Crimestoppers – 0800 555 111
- Ashbourne Police Station – 0345 123 3333
