Moore and Fairhall is a folk-jazz accordion and violin duo who bring together Indian Ragas, American Folk and jazz from all eras, resulting in music that is lyrical, passionate and highly rhythmic.

Troubled Waters / Weds 29th Oct, 7.30pm
With over 4,000 miles of polluted waterways, Britain and Ireland’s rivers are in ruin. Winding through folklore and myth, this vibrant new tapestry of forgotten tales and transporting music tells the stories that have shaped our relationship with rivers, the lifeblood of our landscape.
Boldly leaping salmon, feverish skinny dips, witches’ knickers and highly strung sacred wells. These enchanting, funny and surprising tales present characters who question what is set in stone and find their own flow. British storytelling at its finest!

EBB & The John Hackett Band (Double Bill) / Fri 14th Nov, 7.30pm
EBB were a band, the Erin Bennett Band, who played pop-rock. But they kept straying off into Prog Rock and ruining it. So they finally listened to their own voices and went full Prog. The result? EBB were voted Prog Magazine’s Best New Band 2023.
John Hackett has been a much-loved and admired figure in the progressive rock scene since the mid-70’s; best-known for his flute work with his brother, former Genesis guitarist, Steve Hackett. The John Hackett Band embodies the spirit of progressive rock. From John’s pastoral flute textures, through the funky interplay between drummer Duncan Parsons and bassist Jeremy Richardson to the intricacies of Nick Fletcher’s lead guitar the group embrace pop, rock, jazz, classical, funk and all stops in-between!

Yuval Ron Trio / Sat 15th Nov, 7.30pm
Guitarist and composer (and also session guitarist, audio engineer, music producer and entrepreneur) Yuval Ron performs original tunes that transcend the boundaries of any specific musical genre. Inspired by a crossover of modern jazz-rock, progressive music, cinematic and orchestral music genres, it is all well blended into an own fresh and distinct musical direction, best described as Cinematic Prog or Fusion.
The music features virtuosic performances of various compelling and colourful compositions, produced on top of richly arranged orchestral, some say sci-fi film-like backgrounds, atmospheric soundscapes and various sound effects drawing the listener into a total, electrifying experience.

Craven Faults / Fri 28th Nov, 7.30pm
Half-remembered journeys across post-industrial Yorkshire. On first impression it appears to be a journey through a uniform landscape, past familiar mills, peaks and dales. Until you start to notice the details. The devil’s in the details. It occupies your peripheral vision. It leaves you questioning how you arrived where you did. How did we get here?
