Music in the Park – 6th August 2006

Folk Group, Scott MacNeal

Roberts Park in Saltaire staged the fifth of its series of six varied concerts last Sunday 6th August, featuring Shipley-based folk-group Scott MacNeal, who played for nearly two hours in fine weather to an appreciative audience of all age-groups, which topped three figures, many of them staying – either seated around Sir Titus statue, or lounging on the lawn – for the full session.

The Half Moon Café enjoyed lively trade once again.

The final concert for this year will be Classical Café music on Sunday 20th August and will be down below the prom, outside the Half Moon Café (or inside if wet).

The organisers, the Half-Moon Steering Group with its sponsors Shipley Community Housing, are highly delighted with this initiative which has brought hundreds of “Sunday people” into the Park. It will plan a similar programme for 2007, hopefully with better facilities, i.e a bit of cover! – for its valiant performers.
