Marty Longstaff, aka 'The Lake Poets', is creating a new piece of music to mark 200 years of the Hetton Colliery Railway.
His work has been commissioned by The Cultural Spring, which aims to increase arts
participation in areas of Sunderland and South Tyneside that don’t have a tradition
of arts engagement. It is funded by Arts Council England’s Creative People and
Places project and its five partners are University of Sunderland, the Customs
House (South Shields), Sunderland Music, Arts and Culture (MAC) Trust; Young
Asian Voices (YAV) and The Cultural Spring Charity.
Marty has asked Sunderland Male Voice Choir to support him on the new production, which also involves members of Houghton Area Brass Band.
