One of our members participated in an evening of poetry, music and song at Jarrow Hall on Sunday 9th June. We also enjoyed the sound of the Anglo-Saxon harp accompanied by pipe and drum, all by the same musician. Local poets read poetry and we heard traditional songs too. Naturally it was accompanied by a glass of mead and a roraing fire. Gesiðas are delighted and honoured to be able to join in such events and help to share our love of language and poetry from th eperiod with others.
