| Trades Club Quiz and Curry | ||
| The Trades’ version of “I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue”, minus Samantha. Surreal rounds of questions, an arcane scoring system, an invisible laser display board. And nobody cares who wins. Except the team named “Third from Last”, who co-opt so many people that there’s only enough left for another three teams, and therefore … go figure. Plus delicious curries for veggies and carnivores. What’s not to like? |

| Motion Theory + The Bambinos | ||
| Durham-based “lounge metal” rock band Motion Theory have recently recorded their debut album, and lead guitarist Jamie Wesley says “We’ve taken attributes of many genres to create this album – fast songs, slow tracks, intense, pop-like and bizarre sections, as well as some straight-down-the-line rock. We think there’s something for every rock fan”. Their new material has gone down a storm live, and we’re pleased to welcome them to the Trades. With support from the Bambinos, an upbeat indie band from Tod. |

| Arthur Smith + Mundo Jazz | ||
| Radio 4 stalwart Arthur Smith in the company of spoof world musicians, Mundo Jazz, starts the Trades Club Presents… series at the Picture House. An evening of witty observations and reminiscences of a career that has included the jobs of road sweeper, dustman, market researcher, teacher and even a stint dressed as a fox to advertise chicken in supermarkets. He’s put all that behind him, however, as a much-loved broadcaster (on the likes of Radio 4’s Loose Ends and BBC 2’s QI), comedian, playwright (of An Evening With Gary Lineker), Grumpy Old Man and Radio 4’s self-styled ‘bit of rough’ will be setting the world to rights and taking questions from the audience. Mundo Jazz preach peace, love and understanding (well, sort of…) with the subtlety of a brick hitting butter, through catchy songs, awful dancing and incredibly crass philosophizing. |

| Into the Valley presents DJ James Holroyd and Sisters of Transistors (Live) | ||
| Into the Valley returns for its third installment of acid house, cutting edge bands, dancefloor mayhem and pale ale. Behind the decks due to popular demand is BacktoBasics and Bugged Out! resident James Holroyd. He has cemented a reputation as one of the best and most consistent jocks in the land, playing deep beats that travel from New York to Detroit and Chicago via Manchester, Glasgow and Sheffield. A favourite of Hebden night of yesteryear’s Boogiejuice, locals still go misty eyed as memories of his set behind the 1s and 2s. Manchester’s favourite caped girl group the Sisters of Transistors have just finished part one of a social history on the electric organ quartet. They have traced its origin above and beyond the rave era of the 90s and back to the dance floors of US Airforce bases in the North of England during World War 2. With expert rhythm engine advice from 808 State’s Graham Massey, these forgotten pleasures have been resurrected and reshaped into a terrifying sonic attack. This is dark baroque disco rock at its best! All this plus residents Flash Atkins (PAPERecordings / We Are Woodville) and Chris Price (What The Freak?) holding it down with deep disco, cosmic house and whatever else gets a shuffle on. Advanced tickets from Klog (non-members) and Trades. For more information, join Into the Valley's Facebook group at www.facebook.com |

| Steve Tilston’s Trades Roots with the James Keelaghan Trio | ||
| James Keelaghan is a Juno award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter, based in Winnipeg. He says “I listened to a lot of Irish traditional stuff when I grew up, tempered with Jethro Tull, Neil Young, Bruce Cockburn, Joni Mitchell and Captain Beefheart. I love touching people as a performer, putting a song across so that people get inside the story. I love the immediacy of it, the feedback.” Terry Wickham (Edmonton Folk Music Festival) comments “James has become the complete artist, a brilliant tunesmith, one of the most engaging performers of our time. You always know the journey with James is going to be great, you just never know what all the destinations are. That is why the curve on his career continues to rise.” Another star performer at Steve’s excellent Trades Roots. |

| Chloe Hall Trio | ||
| “I could celebrate, I could jump up and down, but the best I could do is to say go and hear her, buy her CDs and fall under the magic of Chloe Hall” John Warner, Trad & Now Magazine, Australia. Chloe Hall, stopping off at the Trades during a tour of Canada and Europe with a new album, “Outside”, is an engaging, intriguing and charismatic performer. It’s the simple, undeniable quality of her songs that leave the listener with such an overwhelming emotion. Tragedy is met with grace, loneliness is met with a wry humour – the sun never entirely leaves Chloe’s moody autumnal sky. Reviewing a gig in Canada, Teresa Mallam wrote “Nothing prepared me for her stellar live performance. Hall has a free range voice, full of expression, and her unique song stylings are truly little gems. She’s also a gifted songwriter. I listened to every word of her original lyrics which are playfully witty, wonderfully wise or painfully true.” Don’t miss this gig. |

| State of Undress + Jonathan Taylor | ||
| Bubblier than an Aero, State of Undress are a kind of rootsy fiddle band and they’ve got the kind of effervescence that can’t fail to set toes-a-tapping and mouths a-smiling. If you’re a fan of rootsy fiddle bands then check ’em out. They played the Trades to much acclaim after our Thanksgiving evening last November, and we’re pleased to have them back. “Overflowing with spirit and a compelling energy, a performance that marries verve, power and a lung-busting joie de vivre. The accompanying blend of roots-rock, country, Celtic flavourings and a full-bodied melodic musical assault creates a powerful live combination.” - Rock 'n' Reel magazine. |
