Saturday afternoon 2pm – 6pm August 2
Session One: Yorkshire Tunes – Music and words from Young Yorkshire
A programme to celebrate Yorkshire’s rich and varied musical heritage.
A highlight will be a Piano Recital Piano by Shubhan Iyer a gifted young Indian pianist who lives in Huddersfield. Shubhan’s will include works by young Horbury composer William Baines (1898-1922) and Bradford’s own Frederick Delius (1862-1934), but pieces by some of the great late Romantic composers in whom Shubhan specialises. In complete contrast there will be some stunning traditional Indian music by a young Bradford Gurdwara band, songs from two young Bradford-based Roma choirs, and even a young Bradford Rapper.
Tea interval/art stalls from Yorkshire artists and crafts people.
Saturday evening 7pm – 10pm (ish) August 2
Session Two: Songs of the Ridings
What do you mean – Yorkshire? Popular Yorkshire singer-songwriter, poet, campaigner for all things Yorkshire Eddie Lawler opens our Songs of the Ridings session with a programme of highly entertaining music, poems and songs – all with a strong Yorkshire focus. Eddie will be followed by guest contributions from several well-known singers and ensembles from the West Yorkshire area.
