I've been sent this: I know nothing more about it than what is here. Anyone know who the piper/s are?
Hope this of interest to someone, anyway. Julia ------- Forwarded message follows ------- From: Andrew Simpson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Invite for folk music and smallpipes fans - North East independent Dear Folk music and Northumbrian smallpipes fans, Could you please help me spread the word about the release of award-winning North East independent film 'Young Hearts Run Free' which is screening at the Tyneside Cinema? These screenings are the start of a national cinema tour and we're looking to return to other towns in the North East. The film is set in Northumberland during the 1974 miners' strike and it celebrates our region's history and heritage. As well as 1970s style tunes the film also uses folk music and is the first film I can think of which has Northumbrian Smallpipes as part of the soundtrack. It has sparked a lot of interest in the region and is something many people will enjoy so I would be very grateful if you could spread the word to your friends and members. I'll be doing a Director Q&A session after each screening so audiences can learn how the film was made and discuss the mining history. Early booking is recommended.

A coming of age story against the backdrop of a crumbling economy; the 1970s setting is very relevant for today. The film was made on a low budget in the former mining areas of Northumberland but its main themes are universal; community, friendship, first loves and teenage rebellion. This award-winning film is an uplifting and soulful mix of cool 1970s styles, warm-hearted romance and gritty social realism. Screenings are followed by a Q&A from Director Andy Mark Simpson so audiences can discuss the making of the film.
