My band, Galaxians, will be on the bill for the awesome British Wildlife Festival in Leeds this March. Spanning three days, it’s the sixth annual weekend of exciting music from all over the world (and Leeds).
There’s a swathe of excellent gigs happening this autumn in Leeds, and not without good reason. Here’s what’s coming up in October.
Seven years in the running, I Love West Leeds Arts Festival (1-24 July) will be hosted in airstream caravans, converted garden sheds and even a swimming pool! I asked director Jane Earnshaw about some the things we can expect to find at Leeds’ quirkiest little festival.
The Spring Bank Holiday means only one thing – FUN!!!! (Even if you’re a grown-up…)
The first mini Food and Drink festival in York gives a taster of what’s in store for York’s main food festival which takes place every September. There’ll be cooking demonstrations, the finest English wines on offer, and blue cheese chocolates – no, really!
Taking place over nine days at Sheffield’s Showroom Cinema, there’s films from all over the world, plus workshops and talks from BAFTA-nominated writers and industry professionals…
First of all, meat eaters – relax! This isn’t a compulsory programme to force people to give up meat. Rather, it’s a national week of exploration in food, with a focus on trying out different dishes that are meat-free, and raising awareness of the positive aspects of a vegetarian diet…
The headliners include folk ‘supergroup’ Drever McCusker & Woomble – featuring Idlewild’s Roddy Woomble. Also appearing will be celtic musician Frances Black, the Orlyk Ukrainian Dancers and a range of folk musicians.
Don’t miss one of the biggest events on the artistic calendar this year! From 1 – 3 April, York sees 119 artists open their doors to the public in a spectacular celebration of the city’s artistic talent.
Since November 2010 I’ve written reviews, previews and events listings for the cultural website digyorkshire.com. Here’s a portfolio of my work so far.
