🎶 Our Weekly Lockdown Look-Back 🎶
Five years ago this week — on May 28th, 2020 — we were already eleven weeks into our online Ruthin AllStyles Singers’ Nights.
That week’s show had us on the run after a daring escape from lockdown jail (thanks to a cake with a file in it — cheers, Glyn Hudson!). We hitched a lift north with a friendly chap named Dominic who was out “testing his eyesight” at Barnard Castle, and eventually found refuge in the Scottish Highlands, where we presented the show incognito, disguised as locals. 🕶️🏴
💻 You can still enjoy the full 3-hour episode on YouTube:

In the meantime, here’s a little 10-minute highlight reel featuring performances by:
🎤 Paul & Vicki Riley
🎸 John Helm
🎻 Richard Ruthin with Tom Degney
Enjoy the trip down memory lane — and thanks again for being part of the music and the madness! 🎵💚
