James Lavelle at The Trades Club on sale now!

Another brilliant addition to this year's festival line up! We're pleased to bring you James Lavelle in association with The Trades Club on Friday 1st July.

DJ and head of the Mo’Wax label, James Lavelle co-founded UNKLE in 1994; a project which included collaborations with an all-star lineup including Thom Yorke, DJ Shadow, Mike D, Kool G. Rap, Jason Newsted and Richard Ashcroft. Lavelle has gone on to curate Meltdown Festival on London’s Southbank following in the footsteps of Yoko Ono, David Bowie and Morrissey. UNKLE Sounds sees him return to his DJ roots with an audio/visual feast for the eyes and ears.

Tickets are currently available online from The Trades Club Website or via The Trades Club box office. An allocation will be reserved and on sale at the festival box office at Hebden Bridge Town Hall from Friday 6th May.

Who lived in my Street 100 years ago?

Pin your house on the Hebden Bridge map as we launch our very own Hebden Bridge blue plaque project.

'Who lived in my Street' challenges you to find out who lived in your house in 1916, where they worked and what happened to them! Participants will be awarded a blue plaque for their house in the Autumn and become part of the Hebden Bridge blue plaque trail.

Pick up your free information pack from the Town Hall, Hebden Bridge from launch day on Friday 6th May and look out for more information to come.

Other things to look out for...

We're very pleased to see 'Petit Coeur' pop up whilst Heart Gallery is put back together after the floods, do go and see their small but perfectly formed version of Heart Gallery until Monday 30th May and open 7 days a week. The fabulous Hotcakes also reopens this Saturday - go in for some fizz and a rummage! Other festival events on sale - check out tutti frutti's WiLd! and tickets still available for Kate Rusby (just!)

Until next time...
