On the 18th day of the 12th month of 2012 Helmsley Arts Centre celebrated the 200th birthday of its home, The Old Meeting House in Helmsley, built by the Quakers in 1812. The party was so successful everyone there agreed we shouldn't wait another hundred years for the next one! One of the evening's delights was the music provided by the Red Hot Santas ski band, last seen in Helmsley market square during the Queen's jubilee celebrations in 2012 - wonderfully energetic, a joyous, funny yet precisely controlled anarchy, that lifted people to their feet to move to its rhythms. Another was this Ballad written and read by Martin, with action in the background provided by Sue Elm and Charlie Grumbley.
As you see you are not actually seeing (as suggested by the box on our website) but only hearing Martin read his ballad but we hope you enjoy it just the same.
If you would like to read the Ballad for yourself then you can on Helmsley Arts Centre website.
