The Burn – Kirkburn Acoustic
If you live in or around Kirkburn, you may have picked up on the buzz going around about ‘The Burn’. You may have had a flyer put through your letterbox, seen a poster, or read the full page article in the Driffield Post, but still may not be sure what it’s all about.
Well, ‘The Burn’ is, basically, an enjoyable, relaxed, evening of acoustic music, with maybe some poetry thrown in. Held, bi-
It was intended to bring the local community together, but the audience also comes from many of the surrounding villages and from Driffield (and, on occasion, Cornwall, Leeds, Manchester and Doncaster). Performers, so far, not only come from Kirkburn, Tibthorpe, Southburn and Bainton but also from Pocklington, Ellerton and Market Weighton.
The Village Hall is transformed for the event, with pretty table clothes, candles and flowers, projected local images, a draped backdrop and a professional PA and stage lights.
The fundamental principle of ‘The Burn’, is that anyone who wishes to, can perform, and every effort is made to accommodate everyone, even if they only decide at the interval that they want to have a go. The only requirement is a spark of talent – performances don’t have to be polished, but in fairness to the audience, should be rehearsed a bit
