EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to October 1983 at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle. The image showcases the talented Northumbrian piper Dave Bailey, hailing from Westerhope, as he indulges in a little practice session before the highly anticipated Northumbrian Pipers Society Competition. The vibrant energy of the 1980s is palpable in this snapshot of entertainment and leisure. With his bagpipes held firmly against his chest, Dave exudes passion and dedication for his craft. As he skillfully maneuvers through each note, one can almost hear the enchanting melodies that must have filled the gallery's halls that day. Music has always been a universal language capable of transcending time and space. This photograph serves as a testament to its power by capturing an artist fully immersed in their art form. It reminds us of the joy music brings to our lives and how it connects people across generations. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to an era where live performances were cherished experiences shared among friends and strangers alike. It invites us to appreciate both the talent displayed by musicians like Dave Bailey and the cultural significance of events such as competitions organized by societies dedicated to preserving traditional music forms like Northumbrian piping. NCJ's lens perfectly encapsulates this fleeting moment, allowing us to relish in nostalgia while celebrating timeless musical traditions that continue to captivate audiences today.
