Our series of webinars continues this September with something a little bit different!
We will be joined by musician Mike Ruff as he looks at the museum from a new angle.
Taking the Museum’s collections of printing presses, a steam powered pumping station and radio and recording equipment as a starting point Mike will look at the impact these technologies had on our cultural heritage using some folk songs and tunes as illustrations.
Mike has had a long career as a Musician, Singer and Dance Teacher. Most recently he has appeared on TV as a dance teacher in “Back in Time for School” and singing at a Street Party in “Back in Time for the Corner Shop.
