Handicapped Gathering, Salesbury Hall, 22nd Aug
An afternoon of balloons, song and dance with the Gang Show in Ribchester.
Salesbury Hall in Ribchester hosts a Gang Show in this beautifully shot colour film from Lancashire, as local scouts and guides mark the Girl Guides' Diamond Jubilee of 1970 with an afternoon of fun and music for a group of disabled visitors. The enthusiastic cast give their all for an appreciative audience, before the arrival of well-deserved refreshments for performers and spectators alike.
Filmmaker Mary Corner was headmistress of Howard St. Nursery School in Burnley for many years. She was also a highly skilled member of Burnley Cine Club, and her films record not only the early education of children in her care, but community and topical events both locally and further afield.

Performing Arts: Music
Celebrating the joy and expression of music beyond the mainstream
In this latest addition to the performing arts series, we are taking a look at all things music beyond the mainstream; from choir rehearsals and pirate radio coverage, to buskers, festivals and workshops, it's clear that music has remained integral not only to culture and the evolution of arts, but to each of us in our day to day!
Many established music artists have been at the helm of sonic exploration, redefining genres and challenging the familiar ways in which sound can be experienced. But shifting the perspective away from multi-platinum pop stars and established performers, this collection is a celebration of the hobbyists, the amateur & the unrefined love of an art form that builds communities and allows for complete self expression
