The Boss and The Beeston Street Band

Relive your Glory Days with the Boss and the Beeston Street Band live at The Old Woollen venue in Farsley in April.

They are a dynamic Bruce Springsteen tribute band, renowned for their electrifying live performances that capture the raw energy and spirit of The Boss himself. With a deep passion for Springsteen's music, the band brings his iconic anthems and heartfelt ballads to life, delivering an unforgettable experience for fans of all ages.

Crosscut Saw

A Crosscut Saw gig is a hoodoo rollercoaster of pure primeval power. No hype, no image, no posturing, no deception, just true alchemy. No two performances are ever the same, even the musicians themselves don’t know what potent brew will be cooked up.

A three-piece blues roots, rock band from the UK, Yorkshire based with Alex Eden, lead singer, guitarist and harmonica player, drummer Richard Ferdinando and bass player Richard Green. The band glean inspiration from the likes of The Black Keys, Magic Sam, RL Burnside, Taj Mahal and Dr John. 

Germ Lattice / Auguste Vickunaite / Creep of Paris (Thomas LaRoche) / Anna Peaker

An evening of experimental music at Wharf Chambers centered around reel-to-reel and tape machines.

Joe Barton, Mickey Donnelly, and Louie Rice met in London during the 2000’s but it wasn’t until they had relocated to Norwich in recent years that they rented a studio in a condemned brutalist shopping centre and the GERM LATTICE sound was formed. They began by agreeing what they didn’t want the project to be: no improvising or jamming, no overdubs, keep the tracks short etc..

Yin Yoga & Nidra for Deep Rest

Join Sarah for a 90-minute Yin and Yoga Nidra workshop designed to provide deep rest.

In a world where we are constantly juggling demands and responsibilities, it’s easy to overlook the need for rest and renewal. This workshop offers you a sanctuary of stillness, helping you unwind and reconnect with your inner calm.

Springful Ceilidh

Come one, come all, to strip the willow, do-si-do, and bring in the budding season at our Springful Ceilidh

Join us for an evening of lively ceilidh dancing (no experience needed!) with music provided by Sheffield’s finest ceilidh band, The Heist.

We will be raising money for the important work of Leeds Asylum Seekers’ Support Network (LASSN), who support refugees and asylum seekers to be respected, supported and empowered to rebuild their lives free of persecution.

This event is open to all and we ask that you choose your ticket price based on what you can afford:
