This talk will ask the question what would a city where people didn’t need to own a car look like? This, after all, is part of the vision of Leeds City Council – but it is not a future which has been created anywhere around the world. In a world where low traffic neighbourhoods, new bike lanes or pavement parking can all cause public flashpoints talking about car ownership sounds provocative and, given some of the options available to people today “pie in the sky”. The INFUZE project is a five year research study which is asking people in Leeds to imagine and design such a city.

"A vibrant and moving homage" DOWNBEAT

The year is 1916.

Drawn from two years of Sussex retirement for the funeral of his friend, Dr Watson, Holmes returns to Baker Street to resolve ‘the last act’ of his epic career.

A theatrical evening then unfolds, with fourteen characters, all played by Nigel Miles-Thomas in a tour de force performance.

Cross-examinations, heated arguments between Holmes and Watson, and all manner of comic and serious interactions, between many famous Conan Doyle characters.

As the play concludes the great detective reveals a shocking secret.

In a world of soundbites and distractions Chris Wood is a truth seeker. His writing is permeated with love and wry intelligence, uplifting and challenging as he celebrates the sheer one-thing-after-anotherness of life. Tom Robinson and Chris Difford are fans while Stick In The Wheel and The Unthanks look to him as an influence.

Winner of 6 BBC Folk Awards, he's played with The Royal Shakespeare Company and was a key member of The Imagined Village along with Billy Bragg and Martin Carthy. A wise and soulful craftsman, his concerts are a cliche free zone.
