Celebration of Music
6th June 2024.
Celebration of Music is for all u3a members in the Northumbria Region u3a. It will be in the concert room in Sunniside Club, Sunniside Road, NE16 5NA on Thursday June 6th 2024
This is a fabulous room with stage and PA sound system and the club has good car parking. We are hoping the event will attract many members from our region who will attend as either a performer or spectator.
The day is planned to have three parts:
Part 1: Starts at 3pm to 5pm and during this period individual / solo members will contribute by singing a song or playing a tune on guitar, violin, flute or piano etc. This will be a little like a ‘Buskers Night’.
Part 2: Buffet, 5pm to 6pm. During this hour a buffet will be available for those who have paid for it at £7. (See below for details of how to pay this).
Part 3: This will be from 6pm to 9pm. During this time there will be performances from u3a duos or bands that perhaps have a little more performance experience.
