Music at the Heart of Teesdale
Music at the Heart of Teesdale (M@HoT) was formed in 2011, with support from the HLF-funded Heart of Teesdale Landscape Partnership.
The project set out with 2 aims:
- To research as far as possible, historic recordings of folk song and dance.
- To establish a youth folk band, with the aim of reviving some of this traditional music in a new generation of musicians.
Since then, M@HoT has continued to grow, expanding our delivery of folk arts workshops across South West Durham. As well as on-going research and our term-time music workshops with Cream Tees and our new youth folk band Wear’d Aliens, M@HoT deliver bespoke programmes of Folk Music & Dance workshops for primary & secondary schools & community groups; run intergenerational Rapper Dance workshops; host public music masterclasses with guest tutors; and larger scale public events, performances & public commissions.
