Whit Walks and band contests: Times and locations for all the events in Oldham and Tameside
The greatest free show on earth !
Heading to celebrate Whit Friday tomorrow? Here's everything you need to know
Thousands are expected to line the streets of Tameside and Oldham tomorrow for the ‘greatest free show on earth’ as the annual Whit Walks and band contests take place.
Bands from all over the country will compete tomorrow and will be seen driving all over both districts in order to compete in the minimum of six contests to qualify for the cash prizes.
As usual each band must perform two pieces, on a march as they arrive at the contest and then their second prepared piece.
Each band will be judged ‘blind’ by a judge who will remain hidden so they can only hear the band and not know who is playing.
Last year more than a million people attended the contests, and the Whit Walks, which take place in the morning and are organised by local churches.
This year there will be more than 20 contests taking place across the two districts.
Prizes are awarded to the best ranking across any six contests in Oldham and Saddleworth or across Tameside.
Some contests have a separate prize open for youth bands.
The first contest was held in Stalybridge in 1870, followed by two more in Saddleworth in 1881. Since then they have spread across Saddleworth and Tameside, always held the Friday after Whit Sunday.

So up to now, there not put off by the Jew media letting them know they are hideously white, or racist by not playing ethnic minority music. Maybe we could have a steel band or some bangra to please the Liberals. Some of those must have turned up with the million.

According to the old laws of England, which are still in force, many current British politicians qualify for hanging and their laws are null and void
HIGH TREASON .
The British Nation is bedevilled today by alien organisations that have established themselves within our Christian Nation and aim to take us over, to destroy our Christian culture and force us to follow their preconceived designs. Unfortunately they have infiltrated themselves into our educational and religious systems and have educated many adepts among our people who unknowingly carry out their will. Many of them have been advanced to high places.

President Thomas Jefferson (the third President of the United States from 1801 - 1809), provides one of the first honest insights into the dishonesty and corruptibility of the media when he states,
“Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day.”
