Veronica Metz performed last weekend in Haworth
Veronica Metz singer of the band Anois performed last weekend at the annual general meeting of the Brontë Society in Haworth. She made the following report:
"It was fantastic to Haworth to have occurred. Most activities were held in the Baptist Church in West Lane, Haworth. Top of the church was a room where the services are normally held and who was now chartered by the Bronte Society. There were lectures, eg by Juliet Barker, a biography of the Bronte family was here and wrote the annual meeting of members held Bronte. Saturday was the Parish Church of St. Michael and All Angels held a service in honor of Patrick Brontë. This church is so opposite the Parsonage and stands on the site of the old church where Patrick himself was a clergyman.
Sunday was the concert. I sang eight songs and Maureen Peeck - O'Toole, who I know because they gave a course in literature, Bronte in Utrecht, made the introductions for each song. She has greatly deepened in the poetry of Emily and even wrote a book about. So nobody can be better than it releases. Some songs I was accompanied by a guitarist, Jonathan McDonald, the husband of Sally, who organized the weekend and it turned out to be a very good guitarist. After an hour to have rehearsed in advance we were able to play songs. The attendance was fair: 50-60 people. The concert went well, the people were very enthusiastic and we still have a lot of CDs to sell.
In the evening we had dinner with Sally and Jonathan in the Old White Lion, and if you ever come to Haworth, then I can really recommend it here. We had a previous visit to Haworth discovered that eating nothing tastes better than it! And that was another weekend Haworth. A man who sat at the front was even occur to me and said he had enjoyed so tremendously and that he would write a nice review for the new Gazette about us. So that's what I also have fun again. "

A photo of Patrick Brontë, father of Charlotte, Branwell, Emily and Anne Bronte, is auctioned on June 24. The picture has long been "missing" before, but appeared some time ago at an antiques market in Surrey, reports The Independent. The portrait has already been auctioned. In 1898 it was part of the estate of The Museum of Brontë Relics, which was then closed its doors. The Brontë Society, who had recently founded, did not have sufficient financial resources to many of those assets to rise. Ironically, The Borntë Society announced yesterday not to give the picture, because the organization is currently short of money. Expected that the picture, still in the original list is oval, about 600 pounds (about 690 euros) yield.

Artemis from Den Bosch theater plays in the upcoming theater season, an adaptation of Wuthering Heights. The play was written by Jeroen Olyslaegers and is directed by Floor Huygen.
On the website of Artemis is the following:
Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte's book, is known for numerous film versions, edits and lyrics. Jeroen Olyslaegers writes on behalf of Artemis and Antigone a text based on this book, in which the dark side of the restlessness comes up. We are restless because we live in restless times? Or is our restlessness whispered by a demon, the Heathcliff in all of us? In 2007, Jeroen worked for Artemis Olyslaegers Cervantes' Don Quixote and his iron will. This undoubtedly intrusive Wuthering Heights is played by a group of young actors here and have made a big impression.
