Black Dyke heritage gains film addition

Black Dyke's plans to curate and celebrate its unique heritage has been made into a short film with a familiar accompanying tune...

Black Dyke Bandroom
  A new short film celebrates the unique history of Black Dyke

Black Dyke's ground breaking Heritage Centre development based at its famous Queensbury bandroom has gained a further boost with the production of a short introductory film that touches on the band's unique musical history.

Black Dyke gained funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for the project which will enable the band to make its vast collection of memorabilia, music and historic banding artifacts accessible to the world. The film is produced by Black Dyke fan Maxime Girod.

This is another wonderful link that will enhance the world-wide scope and reach of the Heritage CentreBlack Dyke Secretary, David Hirst

Wonderful link

Black Dyke Secretary, David Hirst told 4BR: "This is another wonderful link that will enhance the world-wide scope and reach of the Heritage Centre.

This is such an exciting project that offers the opportunity for people from all over the globe to enjoy the heritage that has made Black Dyke so famous."
