16 July 2023 Sunderland: A Summer Fetival of Music

 


From Roker beach we walked north to find this festival.  The Cliffe Park Music Festival was planned as a two day event but the lightening and rain yesterday required a cancelation of the Saturday events.  We certainly enjoyed listening to the Sunderland Symphony giving us a Bridgerton type Concert.;  Current songs were performed by a string ensemble of 20 players.  They performed in a large canvas tent that was 30 degrees hotter inside than it was outside.  We stood on the fringe still listening but also getting to watch the people and the dogs that were out in force.  


Walking up to the concert grounds


Big tents billowing in the breeze


Strings abound


Wolf-dog


The local population swarms the waterfront whenever the sun is out


It is newsworthy!


The tent is filled to capacity


Any bigger and these flags would fly away


Go cellos go!


The main stage is open to the wind


This performer started out with straight hair and the wind did a number on her


A shoal of land fish


Curling flag


Terns on the wing


Pekinese pose


Bulldog butt


Distracted Yorkie


King Charles II


Wee Chihuahua


A terrier tug
