Surtaal Celebrates
We loved doing this when everyone was just coming out of lockdown and starting to make music together again - celebrating the return of live music making, combined with virtual videos, a exciting combination which builds on some of the technology we've had to learn over the last few years.
Presented by Grimethorpe Colliery Band, and co-created by Liz Lane and RSVP Bhangra. Supported by PRS For Music, it was premiered on 30 August 2021, receiving many thousands of views on social media. Video and audio is by wobplay.
The video features the world's most famous colliery band, Grimethorpe Colliery Band, filmed live at Elsecar Heritage Centre, RSVP Bhangra, Carducci String Quartet, Belinda Evans - soprano, vocal quartet from The Royal Military Chapel (The Guards' Chapel) and Darius Battiwalla on the mighty Leeds Town Hall organ!
