Barking & Dagenham London, a location where our Scottish Ceilidh Band could play for your wedding or eventTowns, cities and regions have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune. Of Barking & Dagenham London, has been said:- " "Dagenham is first mentioned in a charter of Barking Abbey dating from 687 AD. The first Dagenham was almost certainly just a small farmstead, the ham or farm of a man called Daecca. For over 500 years after this the settlement was evidently too small to be mentioned in records. Once the centre of Dagenham. The village was a busy area where farm workers and their families lived. There were several shops, four inns and a blacksmith's forge. Surrounding the village was countryside and farmland. In 1205 Dagenham was large enough to have a chaplain and the Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul was probably built at a similar time. For centuries the church was central to the local community and most people went to church. The farm workers and their families would come here to pray for fair weather and good harvests. Here too they would meet and socialise with their friends. Even today the church contains clues about important people who have lived in Dagenham. " Falstaff ‘Sblood, I am as melancholy as a gib cat or a lugged bear. Prince Henty: Or an old lion or a lover’s lute. Falstaff Yea, or the drone of a Lincolnshire bagpipe. ~ Shakespeare CLICK HERE [Scottish Ceilidh Bands in Barking & Dagenham London for your wedding] [About Scottish Ceilidh Bands] [Ensembles in Barking & Dagenham London wedding music repertoire] [About Barking & Dagenham London] [About music in Barking & Dagenham London] [About Wedding Venues] [About Wedding Ceremonies registrars, ministers and music] [About other kinds of music such as jazz or folk] [Frequently Asked Questions FAQs] [Ensembles1] [Ensembles2] [Ensembles3] [Ensembles4] [Links] [Home Page] |
