You can read all about the cause of Friends of Heritage Green<br />
Group leading up to their success on page 59. Mark Hope from<br />
the Friends of Heritage Green Group wrote us a lovely testimonial,<br />
for which we are very grateful.<br />
"Kate and Becky at Streetwise have provided unswerving support<br />
throughout our 18 months successful campaign to save a local<br />
field from developers by always making room for an article,<br />
mentioning our group in their edition preview notes and squeezing<br />
us in to their Stop Press. The publication quality and layout is<br />
always very impressive and has given the group professional<br />
media coverage helping our cause and credibility no end! “<br />
There’s a fascinating article on page 51 written by local historian<br />
Gary Heywood –Everett on the <strong>Norden</strong> Riviera, also known as<br />
‘Rochdale by the Sea’. For those of you who remember this well<br />
known landmark, it was Rochdale’s own heated open-air pool<br />
based on Edenfield Road in <strong>Norden</strong>, packed with locals using the<br />
diving boards and slides or just hanging around in the spectator<br />
stands, cafes and gardens. In these modern times, it’s hard to<br />
imagine why so many flocked to the <strong>Norden</strong> Riviera which was<br />
opened in 1935, but for those who couldn’t afford a longer<br />
journey to the seaside, it provided the ideal location for a great<br />
family day out.<br />
Until next month….<br />

CUT YOUR<br />
ELECTRICITY BILLS<br />
AND GET PAID FOR<br />
THE ELECTRICITY<br />
YOU GENERATE!<br />
Established over 25 years ago Electronica<br />
Systems are renewable energy specialists<br />
and amongst the market leaders, providing<br />
bespoke services to both the domestic and<br />
commercial markets.<br />
All the products that we supply are high<br />
efficiency providing significant environmental<br />
and economical benefits to the property<br />
owner.<br />
Our Solar Panels are the best performing due<br />
to the fact that they are supplied credible,<br />
ethical and established companies.<br />
Solar PV panels are amongst the most effective<br />
and popular means of renewable energy<br />
generation available and due to their simplicity,<br />
durability and efficiency – are being installed in<br />
ever increasing volumes. Even on a cloudy day<br />
they can convert the light into substantial<br />
amounts of electricity which can be used in the<br />
home – or exported to the national grid if not<br />
used. Electricity exported to the grid is charted<br />
by an export meter which ensures that the<br />
home owner is paid for the power they sell.<br />
PV Solar panel systems are also a guaranteed<br />
means of income thanks to the Feed in Tariff<br />
Scheme which pays homeowners a set rate for<br />
every unit of electricity they produce (whether<br />
it is used or sold back to the grid).<br />
Solar PV Panels can also be installed on<br />
commercial and industrial premises. Depending<br />
upon the size and generation capabilities of<br />
the PV panels, a company can greatly reduce its<br />
energy costs whilst also generating<br />
supplementary revenue through the Feed in<br />
Tariff Scheme. In addition to the financial<br />
benefits, the installation of a solar PV system<br />
also helps the organization get a step closer to<br />
attaining carbon neutrality.<br />

<strong>Norden</strong> Riviera : Rochdale by the Sea<br />
Before the days of the leisure complexes with waves, sandy beaches and entertainment, just off<br />
Edenfield Road in <strong>Norden</strong>, Rochdale had its own place to go to swim in a heated open-air pool,<br />
use the diving boards and slides or just hang<br />
around with friends in the spectator stands,<br />
the cafes and gardens. Not only that but there<br />
was a sports field with horse riding facilities,<br />
fences for show-jumping, cricket pitches and areas<br />
for ball games. In the evening you could go<br />
dancing to a dance orchestra and be waited on by<br />
page boys wearing white uniforms with gilt<br />
buttons.<br />
The <strong>Norden</strong> Riviera in the 1930s<br />
It is hard to imagine now but the <strong>Norden</strong> Riviera offered all that and lots more. Opened in 1935 the Riviera<br />
(or the Riveera as most Rochdale people knew it) was ‘Rochdale by the sea’ for many who could not afford<br />
a longer journey or who preferred something nearer to home.<br />
It proved successful too, with more than 3000 pleasure seekers using<br />
the complex in one particular year and regularly over 500 season<br />
tickets sold. Unfortunately, following World War II the Riviera became<br />
less attractive as overseas holidays, television and other weekend<br />
recreational activities became popular. After a brief revival in the<br />
1950’s the place fell into disrepair and became too expensive to<br />
refurbish. It closed in 1966 and the site is now housing.<br />
I was born in Rochdale and I’m interested in social history. The short<br />
book I have written will, I hope, help preserve a piece of Rochdale’s<br />
history that is in danger of being forgotten. It covers the economic<br />
situation in the 1930’s when the Riviera opened, the national<br />
enthusiasm for healthy outdoor activity and the rise of the Lido movement, the Riviera’s management, its<br />
activities and its eventual decline and closure.<br />
If you are interested in a copy of the book, contact Gary Heywood-Everett at either<br />

YOUR LOCAL POLICE UPDATE<br />
CRIME PREVENTION TIPS<br />
When out, leave lights on to give the illusion you are inside.<br />
Make sure to lock all doors and windows.<br />
Hide or take out the valuables from your car when parked and<br />
ensure your vehicle is secured properly. Double check that all the<br />
windows are up and move items inside (like bags) out of sight as<br />
they could attract a burglar<br />
Fit external lighting around your home.<br />
Use automatic timer switches to turn your lights on when you’re out.<br />
Don’t leave your house/vehicle keys near doors or on window sills<br />

ATTEMPTED CHILD ABDUCTION IN HEYWOOD<br />
At 3.25pm on Thursday 24th March, a twelve year old schoolgirl<br />
was walking along Manchester Road in Heywood when a small<br />
white car pulled up alongside her. A man wound down the window<br />
and shouted at the girl “Get in the car, I don’t want to say it again,<br />
get in the car!” The terrified girl refused to move as the man<br />
repeatedly shouted at her to get in the vehicle, before she finally<br />
turned and ran back to school. The man then drove off. The offender<br />
is described as Asian, between thirty and forty years old, with a<br />
moustache and long black stubble, shaved black hair and bushy<br />
black eyebrows. He was driving a small white dirty car in the<br />
Heywood area. Anyone with information is asked to call<br />
police on 101 quoting incident number<br />

Rochdale’s Pioneers<br />
of Worker Education<br />
At the beginning of the 20th century, many workingmen and women in<br />
Rochdale, as in so many industrial towns across the United Kingdom, were<br />
eager to build on the knowledge they had of the world. ey wanted to learn, not<br />
just about science or literature but about their own industrial experience and<br />
their social and political place in it. ey wanted higher education and their<br />
experiences in organised schooling had given them a taste for it!<br />
Soon, their appeals for knowledge<br />
were heard, and men of learning<br />
from the Co-operative Movement<br />
and from the universities came<br />
forward to help them with<br />
educational courses that met their<br />
intellectual, spiritual and political<br />
needs. At the forefront of this<br />
e Rochdale WEA Tutorial Class of 1908<br />
support rose the Workers<br />
Educational Association (the WEA) and its leader Albert Mansbridge but it needed a town<br />
and a group of students to carry out its great ‘experiment’ in worker education.<br />
Rochdale was chosen, for its radical history, its network of educational organisations, its<br />
nonconformist energies and its commitment to learning. In 1908 the town hosted the first<br />
WEA tutorial class in the country and recruited one of the great socialist thinkers of the<br />
day in R H Tawney to lead, and in the end to be led by, its worker students<br />
is important but somewhat forgotten story has now been turned into a book by local<br />
historian Gary Heywood-Everett who stumbled across a photograph of the first tutorial<br />
class of 1908 in the library at Lancaster University and recognised his old school – Rochdale<br />
Tech’ – as the venue for this historic experiment. Determined to recover details of this lost<br />
but important event, Gary interviewed relatives of some of the first students, sought out<br />
the existing literature and, after conducting extensive research in the archives was able to<br />

identify and celebrate individual students,<br />
Albert Mansbridge<br />
discuss their aspirations, look at what they did<br />
for a living and find what some of them went on<br />
to become. In the book, not only does he discuss<br />
the reason why Rochdale was chosen as the site<br />
for this great experiment in worker education but<br />
also asks what motivated the first students to<br />
join and, following their experiences, how they<br />
used their knowledge.<br />
ere have been a number of histories of the<br />
WEA but Gary Heywood-Everett wanted to write<br />
one from the point of view of the studentworkers<br />
by asking – who were they ? , what did<br />
Gary Heywood-Everett<br />
they do it for? what did they go on to be ?<br />
His interest is from both an educational and a social<br />
inclusion point of view. ese working men and<br />
women, often factory hands during the day, managed<br />
to summon up the energy and intellectual curiosity<br />
to study Economic History and Politics both in their<br />
free time and in an organised class at the weekend.<br />
is is in addition to writing high quality essays for<br />
their tutor. e WEA tutorial class marks the first of<br />
thousands of such classes throughout the UK and worldwide.<br />
e book, entitled ‘Rochdale’s Pioneers of Worker Education: the WEA class of 1908’ tells<br />
the story of how the WEA tutorial class came into being through the energies of local<br />
people within the Rochdale Educational Guild, discusses the social situation faced by those<br />
who came forward for study and looks at who the students were and what they went on to<br />
become, some on a national stage. Drawn from the mills and often the poorest<br />
neighbourhoods in Rochdale, this first group of students were indeed pioneers of worker<br />
education.<br />

HERITAGE GREEN SAVED!<br />
The Friends of Heritage is celebrating Rochdale Council overturning its decision to sell Heritage<br />
Green (field at the junction of Caldershaw Road/Cut Lane). On 9th March, Rochdale Council’s<br />
Township Committee voted unanimously not to sell Heritage Green to developers.<br />
The original decision to sell Heritage Green for the<br />
building of six houses on the site was taken way<br />
back on 5th November 2014, without any<br />
consultation with residents or public advertisement<br />
of such plans, since when the Friends of Heritage<br />
Green has been campaigning tirelessly to get the<br />
Council to alter its decision. To get the Council to<br />
change its mind has been no mean feat and has<br />
involved relentless and extensive effort by the<br />
group. Achieving such change is a momentous<br />
victory for the community and proves that a<br />
community can speak up and change things.<br />
The Friends will continue with its application to<br />
register Heritage Green as a Village Green as, if the<br />
field is registered as a Village Green, the registration<br />
will preserve Heritage Green for use for recreation<br />
and leisure purposes for the long term and prevent<br />
the Council from making any future plans to sell the<br />
land. At the time of writing this article, Rochdale<br />
Council is in the process of “farming out” the<br />
evaluation of the application, and the decision as to<br />
whether or not to register the field as a Village<br />
Green, to another Local Authority as Rochdale<br />
Council believes there is potential for a conflict of<br />
interest if Rochdale Council decides upon the fate of<br />
its own field.<br />
The Friends of Heritage Green began in February<br />
2015 numbering 28 people but the membership has<br />
swelled to approximately 270 members and with<br />
many more local residents supporting the cause. The<br />
Committee of the Friends of Heritage Green group<br />
would like to thank each and every one of you for<br />
your support and demonstrating that the people of<br />
<strong>Norden</strong> and Caldershaw don’t take things lying<br />
down. A fantastic community effort of which<br />
everybody should be rightly proud!<br />
Other “Thank You’s”. Stalwarts: Adrian and Jennifer<br />
Sutcliffe and Joyce and Ian Johnson. Chairman<br />
Thompson and the rest of the Committee.<br />
Volunteers: Lords, Drurys, Graham Davenport, Trevor<br />
<strong>May</strong>ne, litter pickers, tree “tidyuppers” and others.<br />
The young: Oliver Jackson, Leo Thompson, Nathan<br />
Bibbington, Finlay Beaumont and the rest of the<br />
footballers and all the other kids that play on the<br />
field. Those in their prime such as Audrey Thorpe<br />
and other members of all ages. Councillors Winkler,<br />
Holly and Gartside, who have been with us from the<br />
start, and our MP Liz McInnes. And to my Lynn who<br />
has had to put up with me spending too much time<br />
on the campaign - thanks for your support.<br />
Thank You’s to those in the wider community include<br />
a big thank you to Kate and Becky and the rest of the<br />
team at Streetwise, who have provided<br />
unswerving support throughout our long campaign,<br />
always making room for our articles, mentioning our<br />
group in their edition preview notes and squeezing<br />
us in to their Stop Press when we won! Rochdale<br />
Observer and Rochdale Online for publicising our<br />
activities and efforts and achievements. <strong>Norden</strong><br />
Carnival Committee for letting us walk in the<br />
Carnival and supporting us. St. Vincent de Paul’s and<br />
<strong>Norden</strong> Area Forum for letting us use their facilities.<br />
Local businesses: Wildbloods butchers, Lisa<br />
(Hairdresser, Whitworth Rd) and Devine Deli at The<br />
Pavillions and anybody else who has helped and<br />
supported us that I have forgotten to mention.<br />
Mostly, the “Thank You” goes to all the Friends of<br />
Heritage Green. 270 members who never grumble<br />
and anything asked of them is done. 136 people<br />
took the time and trouble to complete the Village<br />
Green application – thank you! The site visit by the<br />
Councillors in the pouring rain with dogs and<br />
children a plenty and the young and the old out in<br />
force and belligerent! – Brilliant! We couldn’t have<br />
done it without you! Well done and many thanks! I’m<br />
proud to be in your number.<br />
The campaign of course continues and won’t stop<br />
until Heritage Green is a Village Green and is just<br />
how the community want it to be. As always,<br />
participation and support from anyone in any way<br />
would be welcomed and greatly appreciated. If you<br />
are interested in joining the Friends of Heritage<br />
Green (for free) and receiving information relating to<br />
the campaign, all you have to do is provide your<br />
name and contact details. Please contact Mark Hope<br />
by email on markhope680@btinternet.com or<br />

Well done!<br />

Rochdale Ladies<br />
Lifeboat Guild<br />
The RNLI is a charity that saves lives at sea. In 2015 the Lifeboats in the north of England launched 954 times rescuing<br />
903 people. The RNLI Flood Rescue Team rescued 400 people from floods over three days in Cumbria. Lifeguards<br />
dealt with 1,721 incidents, assisting 2,065 people. The Charity provides Lifeboats, Lifeguards, safety advice and<br />
inland flood rescue and the crew members are all volunteers.<br />
The Lifeboat would not function without all the volunteers – in fact 95% of the RNLI’s people are volunteers. Rochdale Ladies<br />
Lifeboat Guild will be celebrating 90 years in 2017 and the early meetings were held in the Town Hall, we are a small committee<br />
holding fundraising events such as an Afternoon Tea in April and a Coffee Morning in October, both events held at the Town Hall,<br />
Rochdale. Other events organised have been an Antiques Valuation Evening, Quiz Night and Theatre Trips all very successful and<br />
well received.<br />
It costs £140M each year to run the lifesaving<br />
service 85p in every pound donated goes to the<br />
rescue service 15p is reinvested to generate more<br />
funds.<br />
Coastal Lifeboat Stations have 10 minutes for the<br />
crew to drop whatever they are doing to form a<br />
crew and launch. However on the Thames in<br />
central London winter water temperature is<br />
around 5 degrees centigrade and people only<br />
have seconds to survive. On a cold March<br />
morning in the dark the call came there was a<br />
person in the water metres downriver from the<br />
Tower Lifeboat Station at Waterloo Bridge the<br />
person would be fighting against at least 3 knots<br />
of river current. There were three people in the<br />
water hanging by their fingertips onto a section<br />
of wall, a Spanish student had fallen in and was<br />
unable to swim, his friend tried to help and a<br />
barman jumped in to help the pair stay afloat.<br />
Fortunately due to the Lifeboat being nearby the<br />
three were rescued within minutes and in the care<br />
of the London Ambulance Service. The moral of<br />
the story do not enter the water to help but intead<br />
dial 999 and ask for the Lifeboat.<br />

<strong>Norden</strong> Carnival -<br />
The Circus comes to the Village<br />
The preparations for this year's Carnival are coming together as everyone<br />
gets into the 'Circus' theme. There have been an unprecedented number of<br />
enquiries for stalls this year already. We've got everything from locally<br />
made treats to candles and great gift ideas. The Carnival falls on the 18th<br />
June, the Saturday before Father's Day so it'll be ideal to pick up those last<br />
minute treats for your Dad. There'll be plenty of entertainment at <strong>Norden</strong><br />
School after the parade has passed through the village. There'll be a<br />
range of funfair rides as well as live music, too.<br />
We're really interested in hearing from anyone interested in joining the parade.<br />
There's no fee to enter and local charities and community groups are given a<br />
donation each year. We ask that each group get into the spirit of the Parade and<br />
dress up in this year's theme of 'Circus'. In the past we've had local pubs, all the<br />
schools, charities and local businesses getting involved. The parade has been<br />
getting better and better each year - we're sure this year will exceed<br />
all expectations. If you're interested,<br />
please email<br />
nordencarnival@sky.com or<br />
tweet us @<strong>Norden</strong>Carnival.<br />
We look forward to seeing<br />
everyone on the 18th June! The<br />
sun will be there, so make sure you<br />
are, too.<br />
Best wishes,<br />
<strong>Norden</strong> Carnival Committee<br />

Heaton Hall looks ahead to<br />
re-opening to the public<br />
Following a significant and essential programme of works at the 18th century property, Heaton Hall is starting to<br />
look forward to inviting the public back into the house – and local people are being asked how they would like to<br />
see it used. In response to huge public demand, the ambition is to work towards opening the hall for weddings and<br />
other events in the future, as well as being able to view the beautiful decorative interiors. Already confirmed,<br />
Heaton Hall will be open to the public every second Sunday of the month between April and September for open<br />
days with guided tours by The Friends of Heaton Hall group. The hall will also host other special events throughout<br />
the year, including the national Heritage Open Days events, Christmas at Heaton and some performance-based<br />
events.<br />
A range of works have been<br />
completed by North West<br />
contractor, Conlon Construction<br />
to maintain the building and<br />
halt further decline.<br />
The West Wing has been closed<br />
since 1983 after fire gutted the<br />
section of the historic building,<br />
but work is now underway to<br />
reinstate the original windows<br />
and shutters, which have been<br />
in storage since the fire and in<br />
keeping with the Grade I status<br />
of the hall. Historic England,<br />
which has been a long-term<br />
partner in restoring Heaton Hall, has so far provided £400k funding over the last two years to meet part of the cost of the glazing and joinery<br />
and associated stonework repairs.Heaton Hall, designed by James Wyatt in 1772, is one of the region’s finest properties. Since 2012 phases of<br />
work have been completed to ensure long-term protection against the elements, beginning with substantial works to repair the roof.<br />
As a second phase of works last year, locally-based craftspeople also sensitively repaired the historically significant windows, joinery and<br />
stonework in the central and east wings – all in accordance to the property’s listed status. Improvement work has also been completed across<br />
the park using £600k investment from the Clean City Fund – allocated in part to Heaton Park from a one-off dividend paid to the city council as<br />
part-owners of Manchester Airport Group.The funding has replaced bins and benches across the park, along with improvements to pathways and<br />
a new toilet block at the farm building.<br />
Announced last month, Clean City funding is also going to be used to fully refurbish the play area, which will replace or rebuild all of the current<br />
play pieces, including the ten metre tower slide.Inclusive play pieces will be a key addition to Heaton Park’s play offer, with basket swings<br />
capable of supporting wheelchair users and a brand new roundabout, which will also have full disabled access. Rosa Battle, Manchester City<br />
Council’s executive member for culture and leisure, said: “We have a huge responsibility as guardians of Heaton Hall to make sure it is<br />
protected for Manchester people to enjoy for generations to come. “Working on historic buildings present huge challenges – both financially<br />
and in terms of quality – but the on-going work has protected the building from further deterioration. These are the essential first steps towards<br />

inging the much-loved hall back to life. “We have some<br />
plans to invite the public back to the hall – including monthly<br />
tours with the friends’ group – but we’re eager to know what<br />
you think should be done and how we can use this magnificent<br />
building in the future.”<br />
David Blood, Chair of the Friends of Heaton Hall, said: “We’re<br />
thrilled with the progress being made at the Hall. Slowly and<br />
surely the life and character is being brought back to this<br />
historic property. We would urge anyone who is interested to<br />
join one of our monthly tours and get a glimpse inside. It goes<br />
without saying, the interiors are just as impressive as the<br />
exteriors.”<br />
Charles Smith, Heritage at Risk Principle for Historic England<br />
in the North West said: “It’s exciting to see progress at the<br />
Grade I listed Heaton Hall, one of Manchester's most special<br />
buildings. The hall has been on our At Risk Register for several<br />
years due to its deteriorating condition and a fire in the<br />
1980s. We’re proud to be working with the council on this<br />
wonderful building and our joint goal is to strengthen the<br />
hall’s position in the lives and economy of local people,<br />
eventually leading to its removal from the Register.”<br />
Michael Conlon, chairman at Conlon Construction, “We’ve a<br />
lot of experience in heritage projects and understand the skill,<br />
materials and budgets required to deliver a project of this<br />
nature. We take great pride in our work and are very pleased to have delivered a programme of work that will further extend the life of the<br />
landmark building.”<br />

Face Lift for Hutchinson<br />
Road Play Area<br />
<strong>Norden</strong> Councillor, Peter Winkler, is delighted to be able to report<br />
that a plan to refurbish the children's play area at the Hutchinson<br />
Road recreational site will come to fruition later this year.<br />
The plan will utilise over £40,000 from housing development funding to not<br />
only refurbish the existing play area, but install an additional new area of play<br />
equipment at the existing site.<br />
Councillor Winkler said "The<br />
existing site is suitable for<br />
children of up to 5 years. The<br />
new additions will be suitable<br />
for children up to 8 years old,<br />
and with the play area at the<br />
Jubilee Park for older children<br />
this will mean a complete<br />
offering for children of all ages<br />
within the area."<br />
“Myself and Counsellors<br />
Gartside and Holly have been<br />
pursuing this money for some time and we are delighted that the funding has<br />
now been secured and put to such good use. We hope to have the new play<br />
equipment installed quickly, so that local children can get the best use from<br />
it over the summer months. There has been a consultation over the design of<br />
the play area and we are confident that youngsters will love what we have<br />
planned."<br />
The money has come from housing development 106 monies which have to<br />
be spent on recreational facilities within a specific area. After careful<br />
consideration of a number of sites it was found that this would be the only<br />
area which would meet the criteria for that funding. Local families are said<br />
to be delighted at the news.<br />

Springhill Hospice, Spring Fair Sunday 13th March <strong>2016</strong><br />
The sun shone, birds sang and flowers bloomed at Springhill Hospice on Sunday 13th of<br />
March. Hundreds of visitors took advantage of the crisp Spring day to visit the Broad<br />
Lane hospice that had been transformed into a Springtime Easter wonderland for the<br />
day.<br />
With over 40 stalls, both inside the Hospice and in the award winning<br />
gardens, visitors were spoilt for choice. On offer to the hosts of visitors were<br />
everything from handbags to hanging baskets, pizzas to pancakes, cupcakes<br />
to curry. Good fun was had by all as families took part in chocolate<br />
tombolas, hook a duck and enjoyed the delights of the Hospice’s new wood<br />
fired pizza oven, turning out freshly baked pizzas.<br />
“We couldn’t have asked for a better day” said Mel Caffrey, Springhill<br />
Fundraiser and Spring Fair organiser “It was a lovely relaxed afternoon.<br />
People could enjoy the goodies on offer inside the Hospice and outside in<br />
our flower and vegetable gardens”.<br />
The Spring Fair provided a wonderful family day out with a bonus for<br />
the Hospice, the event raised a record amount of cash, over<br />
£7,500 so far with funds still being counted.<br />
“We’re astounded at the generosity of the public and would<br />
like to thank everyone who joined us on Sunday. By coming<br />
to events like this year on year, the community reinforce their<br />
support for the Hospice and the work of our doctors and nurses<br />
both at the Hospice and out in the Borough” said Sarah Ford,<br />
Springhill’s Income Services Manager.<br />
With £3m a year to raise to keep the doors of the Hospice<br />
open, the Springhill Fundraising Team won’t be sitting back<br />
with their feet up today! “The Spring Fair is just one of a<br />
long list of events we put on to raise money. Sunday April<br />
24th, the annual Hospice to Hospice 10th Birthday Walk is<br />
next on the agenda, followed swiftly on <strong>May</strong> 13th with Go<br />
Green Day. For all you fair lovers out there, put a note in<br />
your diaries for Sunday June 5th when we’ll be<br />
transforming Roch Valley Riding Club into a Dog Show &<br />
Traditional Summer Fete – a great family day out”, Sarah added.<br />

Everyone’s a little bit Irish (sort of)<br />
Andy Kelly reflects on a ten day long St Patrick’s day<br />
About eighteen<br />
months ago I<br />
decided to scratch<br />
an itch that had<br />
been bothering me<br />
for a while, and<br />
started to put<br />
together an Irish<br />
band. Some of my<br />
earliest memories<br />
at home were<br />
listening to The<br />
Dubliners, The<br />
Clancy Brothers<br />
and Johnny Cash as Country and Irish<br />
were pretty much the entirety of my<br />
Dad’s record collection. In my teens and<br />
early 20s, I was greatly influenced by<br />
The Pogues so somewhere in my head I<br />
have this back catalogue music that has<br />
come out of, or been influenced by the<br />
Emerald Isle. But would there be a<br />
market for this sort of thing today. The<br />
answer seems to be firm “Yes”.<br />
The Scattering made their debut at The<br />
Flying Horse on St Patrick’s Night 2015<br />
and have not looked back. The six piece<br />
band is made up of drums, bass, two<br />
guitars, accordion and violin/mandolin.<br />
It’s the latter two combinations that give<br />
the band its distinctive sound along with<br />
some close three part vocal harmony.<br />
About a third of the songs The Scattering<br />
play are traditional Irish songs, played in<br />
a rocked up style- standards like Irish<br />
Rover, Belle of Belfast City, Black Velvet<br />
Band, Fields of Athenry and the like are<br />
all on the set list. There’s a fair slice of<br />
more modern Irish artists- U2, Thin Lizzy,<br />
The Saw Doctors and The Pogues; and<br />
the rest is an eclectic mix of Country,<br />
Reels, Punk, Pop and Folk all delivered<br />
with The Scatterings unique sound.<br />
Twelve months later and this Rochdale<br />
based band have headlined both<br />
Saturday night gigs at the Manchester<br />
International Irish Festival in Albert<br />
Square. Originally meant to be a<br />
weeklong event, the festival was extended<br />
this year to cover two weekends where<br />
the band played to well over a thousand<br />
people.<br />
All of the band members make their<br />
living through music in one way or<br />
another as music tutors, classroom<br />
teachers, managers and facilitators and<br />
playing in The Scattering provides a<br />
performance outlet for some very<br />
talented local musicians. Throughout the<br />
rest of the year, the band have regular<br />
slots at both the Flying Horse Hotel in<br />
Rochdale<br />
and the<br />
Horse and<br />
Farrier pub<br />
in <strong>Norden</strong>.<br />
(It’s all<br />
very<br />
horsey!)<br />
They have<br />
host of other<br />
engagements both<br />
private and public<br />
and have been asked<br />
back to the Irish<br />
festival in 2017.<br />
The name by the way<br />
has a double<br />
meaning, referring to<br />
both the farming<br />
method of scattering<br />
wheat or corn, and a<br />
name given to the<br />
Irish people scattered<br />
or displaced across the globe. What is<br />
unbelievable is that with the exception of<br />
myself (and I claim dual Anglo Irish<br />
heritage!) none of the band members<br />
have any direct Hibernian heritage.<br />
Somewhere in most of their ancestry it<br />
exists though so hence being a little bit<br />
Irish…<br />

Hi Kate and Becky<br />
Thought I'd let you know how well your magazine is<br />
read. Today at the Cutgate meeting we had 4 new<br />
walkers and all from reading the <strong>Bamford</strong> and<br />
<strong>Norden</strong> Streetwise Magazine. Thank you so much.<br />
Walking is the best exercise. It is free. It relieves<br />
loneliness and depression, controls weight,<br />
reduces cholesterol and blood pressure and<br />
walking in a group adds to the social life of lonely<br />
and recently bereaved people. It also introduces<br />
people to the areas where they live who have no<br />
idea of the beauty and scenery round the corner<br />
from their home.<br />
Barbara Jessop<br />
Syke Walk and Talk Group<br />
I can't recommend Kate and the team at Streetwise<br />
highly enough. <strong>Norden</strong> Carnival is an annual event in our<br />
local village - organised by just five people in our spare<br />
time but aended by a few thousand. Through<br />
promoting the event for free in the magazine in the<br />
months running up to the event, the Commiee is able<br />
to encourage residents to join in the street parade on<br />
the day as well as finding people to run craft stalls etc.<br />
The magazine is so much more than just local listings<br />
and advertising as it includes a range of interesting<br />
articles - which also means that our updates are read<br />
too. We take the June front cover to advertise our event<br />
each year and its a really cost effective way of<br />
encouraging local residents to aend the event. Apart<br />
from Facebook and Twier, the only other advertising we<br />
do is in the local shops - and even that gets re-enforced<br />
through the Streetwise magazines as they are available<br />
to pick up in the local shops, cafes, restaurants and<br />
libraries. We know we get many referrals from<br />
Streetwise and we really appreciate their support - and<br />
patience when we're late for a deadline! The coverage<br />
after the event is also a really good way to thank<br />
everyone for supporting us.<br />
Whether you're thinking about advertising or just listing<br />
an event, we guarantee that Streetwise will provide a<br />
complete and professional service.<br />
