The Triangle: Subscriptions due this week

Triangle subscribers – Please be ready with your money!

We will be collecting the £6 subscription with this coming edition of the Triangle (issue 59 Aug/Sep 2020).

It should be delivered from Friday 31 July. Please have your correct money ready when your deliverer calls, to aid safe distancing.

Subscribers will know that, although we have continued to deliver through the pandemic, we have deferred collecting the sub which was due in April, for the sake of everyone’s safety. Thank you for your cooperation.

Ryestream goes African?

If you thought the Ryedale Festival was too classical, exclusive or serious for you, have a listen to the extraordinary Abel Selaocoe, who grew up in a township near Soweto. His singing and cello playing was live-streamed on Thursday from Helmsley church. He mashes up Bach and African songs to stunning effect.

All the Ryestream free-to-view music can be found here: https://ryedalefestival.com/ryestream/
