MEET THE BAND & WORKSHOP with SLOW LORIS

Saturday 28th June Leigh North Street School 2pm

'The Slow Loris is a shy creature, known to come out only at night and then being extremely noisy. Members of the SLOW LORIS BAND are certainly not shy and although often active at night, they can be seen before midday in Leigh Library Gardens [11 am] and later in North Street School. Come along and meet the band, hear about their experiences, and join in with a few tunes and songs. And we won’t mention the noise.' from Leigh Folk Festival Programme notes.
