Coal Porters rock Midlem

Friday night saw the return of Sid Griffin and the Coal Porters to their favourite venue – Midlem Village Hall.  The place was packed in anticipation of a great evening – and we were not disappointed.  There were all the old favourites, some new songs from album to be released in September and an outrageous cover of Paint it Black (Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na…..)!!

There were many familiar faces in the audience from 18 months ago and we used the interval to update everyone on what Katie’s Trust has been doing – **newsletter**

For those of you who missed the gig but might be intrigued who the Coal Porters are then have a look at the website – Coal Porters.  And if you want a sample of their music then here is one of our favourites – Closing Time Genius.

Many thanks to Phil & Patricia (who sadly missed the gig), Midlem Hall Committee, the audience and especially the Coal Porters!  You helped us raise a fantastic £675!!

‘Tap Heavy’ in final rehearsals

The dancers only have a couple of rehearsals left before the big show next Wednesday night at Hawick Town Hall.  The ‘girls’ received a boost to their pre-show publicity in the Hawick News – giving them a chance to model the new T-shirts.

If you would like to sponsor them then you can still do it online at Tap Heavy.
