Re: Arts in Hyndburn
It is not art that is missing in Accrigton,there is very little 'art to put in it, unlessof course Henna hand painting or some one with an unpronoucable nam e playing an instrument that sounds like a broken Bagpipe fall into that category. As a child Accrington was rich in live entertainment, The Hippodrome was at it's height with nightly live shows were many a famous name cut their teeth. My parents had a 6 bedroomed house were many of these artists used to 'board'. The top names stoped in the Hotels but the chorus and the like stage hands etc used boarding houses.
The best time was when the Circus came to town, the worlds strongest man the tattood lady, you name them they came. There is far to much canned entertainment for any art form to be of any interest to this generation. They are as art is now a lost cause. In my humble opinion.
