For the first time in the UK, Ibantuta, a Basque musician and Oud player, presents his cinema-concert. A truly unique show that blends live music and storytelling with original travel film projections captured during a year-long journey across 12 countries of the Silk Roads, from China to Turkey.
Bills and Beats is a creative finance project that helps young musicians and makers build confidence with money. Through live events, film, and 1:1 advice, it connects the creative and financial worlds to spark new skills, stories and opportunities.
Forget panel chats that preach or dull lectures about budgeting. Bills and Beats is a live, local lab where young creatives, musicians, and makers come to swap stories, tackle money myths, and meet the people who can actually help them make it work.
А unique concert on July 25th will take place at 7:00 pm at the Auditorium of St George's Church in the heart of Leeds.
The programme of the evening includes the famous Antonio Vivaldi cycle «The Four Seasons» in the author's interpretation of the cult contemporary composer Max Richter performed by the extraordinary Mystery Ensemble in an intimate & relaxing atmosphere.
An annual event taking place this year, 2025, on the 21 & 22 and 28 & 29th June. 27 artists and makers within 6 miles of Wetherby open their studio doors to the public to see them at work and enjoy the art. Painting in various media, sculpture, textile and felt art as well as jewellery and ceramics will all feature in this event.
Find my studio off the A58. Travelling towards Wetherby take the fourth turning after the traffic lights at Bank Top just a short distance from Venue 2 where six of our members will be exhibiting.

The Absence: Memoirs of a Banshee Drummer, a memoir by the legendary musician and drummer Budgie, in conversation with music journalist, Dave Simpson of the Guardian.
As a member of Big in Japan, The Slits and, most famously, Siouxsie and The Banshees and The Creatures, Budgie became one of the era-defining drummers in the much-mythologised post punk scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
