Thank you so much to everyone who braved the storm and came to last night's Hark! The Sound of Stories - safe to say it was absolutely worth it.

All-new songs from Faithful Johannes , conjuring up different facets of Durham history (and he played guitar!) had us bopping along. Then Mr Barry Hyde played a solo rendition of songs from his Miners Ballad album, complete with piano improvisation, to a you-could-hear-a-pin-drop audience. And not forgetting brilliant readings from Darlington Library 's own Lucy Kingsley and our favourite Bob Fischer

A new Hark favourite night, that. Big big thanks to the library and Bishop Line Community Rail Partnership and CrossCountry trains for making it possible, thanks to an amazing audience who stuck around to chat to the artists at the end and then went so far as to help us put the room back together! And an extra special thanks to Asa, who went above and beyond helping us out all evening when we were down a team member.
