Aire Do - Georgette Hilton

My apologies as I am about three weeks late with this post.  The Aire Do, an annual music festival held in the grounds of the recently refurbished Cliffe Castle museum at Keighley was held over the weekend of 3rd-4th August.  I was only able to attend on the Sunday but thoroughly enjoyed the performance by talented singer/songwriter Georgette Hilton.

Baildon Ukulele Club At Cliffe Castle

There was some welcome sunshine this afternoon in the grounds of Cliffe Castle at Keighley where the Baildon Ukulele Club held a fund raising concert for the Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice.  A surprisingly eclectic mix of music was performed by the Baildon based Ukulele Club, from George Formby hits to the Kaiser Chiefs 'Ruby'.  Here the crowd are singing along to a duet with club members Richard and John.

Poppies - Cliffe Castle

I had a wander around the grounds of Cliffe Castle near Keighley at the weekend and came across a wild flower meadow. It was raining heavily at the time, not ideal conditions for taking photographs, but the colours of the flowers were quite striking, so here are some bedraggled looking poppies.

Aire Do

There was heavy rain at this music event yesterday which was held in the grounds of Cliffe Castle near Keighley. As you can see from the picture, the crowd of spectators was a little on the small side. The weather did improve a little as the afternoon went on, and more people did turn up and seemed to enjoy themselves despite the heavy showers. As for myself, I spent most of the afternoon in a nearby marquee listening to acoustic musicians, out of the rain.
