| Club Brenda | ||
| “Imagine what a club would be like if it combined bands, performance art and a deliberately eclectic music policy. . . if it reached out to everyone - gay, straight, black, blue - but in particular, welcomed life’s uglier ducklings – the outsiders, the strange ones …”. A scrapbook of live bands, performance art and general debauchery, Brenda is a shining star in Manchester’s underground scene, putting the ‘arty’ into party. Coming together for a Hebden Bridge special are the Trudy and Judy magical show and gloriously brash femme-punk band (hooker), plus Club Brenda DJs for a night of fantastic music and subversive art thrills. |

| “These guys understand the magic of understatement and the pure, unadulterated simplicity that flows through all great American roots music” (BBC Northern Ireland). Jeni and Billy perform original and traditional songs that draw from Appalachian, old-time country, bluegrass and folk music. They will draw you into captivating narratives of hard living and unexpected grace. Their set at last year’s Beverley Folk Festival was reviewed as “a sweet and surprising high point . . . singing songs from the southwest Virginia coal mines, the pair melted hearts”. |
