Town Crier Competition to take place in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Apr 15, 2016, 10:12 AM

Town criers from around the country are to descend on Newcastle-under-Lyme's town centre tomorrow (16 April 2016) for a competition.

The town criers, including Newcastle’s very own Gordon Brayford, will take part in two challenges designed to test their confidence, diction, volume and accuracy of proclamation by the Market Cross, High Street.

John Parsons, is organising the event, told us more and how he became a town crier.

First broadcast on Cross Rhythms City Radio 101.8FM on 15 April 2016.
