Halloween Ghost Walk Tickets now on sale.
We plan to have a similar format to 2012, we will start by telling a few ghost stories in Yorks Bakery Café on Newhall Street before the walk, we will then congregate on the steps of the Council House, Victoria Square, before heading off into the night. We will end at the haunted Red Lion on Warstone Lane where the staff will welcome us with a Halloween cocktail and a warming bowl of pumpkin soup. The pub will also lay on a Halloween party. Tickets at £13 are only available from our on-line agent Oxboffice and are now on sale.
Fancy dress is optional for the walk, and we will be giving a prize to the best costume on the night.
Last year the Serial or Cereal Killer costume of Chantal, was the worthy winner.
In between the two walking tours we run in Birmingham every Saturday, I heard drumming coming from the corner of the Town Hall in Birmingham’s Victoria Square. I went over to investigate to hear Chris Dixon running workshops as part of The Black Exposure Live event at Birmingham Town Hall. Chris of Alkhami was teaching a group of three young boys. When the lads left Chris invited me to sit down and my lesson in playing the Djembe African Drum started. I was joined by the local family shown in the picture, and Chris got soon got us working together in unison. We even had a group of Birmingham City supporters spontaneously break into a chorus of “We will rock you” in time to our drumming. I wasn’t as good as the children, but held my own against Mum and Dad.
“I’ve been drumming for as long as I can remember” said Chris who is studying music at Birmingham City University. “I’m busy drumming and teaching at parties, corporate events and weddings, but my goal is to teach music in Schools when I finish my degree.
