Here’s a wee peek at what you can expect at an Atlas Bridge gig…
Informal workshop and recital with Becky
1pm -2.45pm. Chapel FM, Seacroft, York Road, LS14 6JB
Followed by an Irish Traditional Music Session (all instruments including pipes welcome!) 3pm -4.30pm session The Cricketers Arms, Seacroft Green, Leeds LS14 6JW
Delighted to be supporting Gilmore & Roberts presented by BGR events at their Wadsworth Community Centre venue in Hebden Bridge where I shall be playing a few tunes on various sets of pipes and whistles, accompanied by Steve Lacey on guitar who may even be persuaded to do a song!
Gilmore & Roberts need no introduction, and you are assured of a good night in their company. But please come along and support the BGR Events series of concerts – they continually put on quality folk acts in a great venue, with a very reasonable bar, lovely food available and a great crowd who appreciate their music. On top of all this they raise a great deal of money for local charities. Great! ❤
It was great to get out to the Friday evening session at Todmorden Folk Festival which is on all weekend with a host of great acts, performers, musicians and dancers. What a good do!
