#HullUrbanOperaCollective presents Neil Balfour performing The Cold Song (What Power Art Thou) from Purcell's opera 'King Arthur.'

The audio & video in this performance was a continuous #LiveRecording by artsongstory.

Director: Russell Plows
Musical Director: Benjamin Newton
Performance: Neil Balfour (www.neilbalfour.com)
Audio & Video Recording: Ben Rawles
Designer: Liz Dees & Charles Huckvale at Apus Productions
Makeup and Wigs: Venice Marshall

A beaten, abused and broken down #Yeti is paraded around Hull as entertainment for onlookers to marvel and gawp at. Mid-performance the Yeti's inner-beast starts to surface and he pleads for help from the audience. It's one last attempt at breaking free. However, the power of 'the cane' returns him back into his box.

LYRICS:

What power art thou, who from below
Hast made me rise unwillingly and slow
From beds of everlasting, everlasting snow
See'st thou not how stiff, how stiff and wondrous old
Far unfit to bear the bitter cold
I can scarcely move or draw my breath
Let me, let me freeze again to death

Big Generator: Cobh’s Night Electric

Big Generator rocked Cobh last August during the Cobh People’s Regatta. They played in the band stand in the park and even later in the evening after the fireworks there was a large crowd dancing and enjoying the music! Look out for them as they play around the country.

When the Dragon Roared Through Cork’s Streets

Right, so let’s talk about the absolute star of Cork’s Dragon of Shandon parade—the massive skeletal dragon that dominated the streets and created that perfect mix of ancient mythology and contemporary street theatre that defines this extraordinary event.

The parade really is a spectacular event, and the dragon brings up the rear with ominous music and a rider on top. It’s really quite a sight to see!

Cork’s Halloween Parade Brings Magic to the Street

This is what Cork’s Dragon of Shandon parade does best. It transforms the streets into a moving theatrical spectacular where elaborate costumes, dedicated face paint, choreographed performances, and pure Halloween energy collide in the most brilliant way possible.

The Jazz Festival Parade

I did not know that there would be a small parade of brass bands down Oliver Plunkett Street until my wife was told about it an hour before!

It was just after sunset and dark and getting cold but there was huge excitement as the crowd followed the musicians down the street.

A high-angle, wide shot of a crowd of people gathered on a stone terrace overlooking the city of Paris. The cityscape, with its grey buildings and a prominent modern skyscraper in the distance, fills the background under a cloudy sky. A large, dark-green tree and a streetlamp are to the right of the terrace. On the streetlamp, there is a street artist performing tricks with a football. In the foreground, people are scattered on a walkway, watching the performer, with two cars, one white and one dark grey.

When the street performance turns into a plot twist 🎻💥 One daring violin spin, one unexpected passerby… and a violin that didn’t survive. This is what we call violin-ence 😂
