The Arts Society, Halifax presents –
Sophie Matthews – Music in Art
Tuesday 14th Feb ❤️
Join historical musician and
instrument maker Sophie Matthews explores the links
between music and art.
The Arts Society, Halifax presents –
Sophie Matthews – Music in Art
So many of our historical references for
musical instruments can be found in works of art. Not
only can these windows into the past show us what the
instruments looked like but also the social context
in which they would have been played. Music and different
instruments also play a strong role within symbolism
in art. Sophie explores the instruments in selected
works and then gives live demonstrations on replicas
of the instruments depicted.

Jack Rutter Thursday 9th March
Yorkshire
folk singer Jack Rutter has established himself as
one of the standout voices of the folk, roots and
acoustic music scene in recent years. A hugely engaging stage presence, his
soaring vocal, powerhouse guitar and bouzouki playing
and masterful arrangements of traditional songs and
contemporary covers have enthralled audiences from
the largest festival main stages to the most intimate
folk clubs. Following on from his critically
acclaimed second album Gold of Scar & Shale, 2022
will see the release of a brand new EP, with 2023
bringing the successor to Gold of Scar & Shale in
the form of a new album of traditional songs.
‘Among Britain’s finest traditional
singers.’
– Folk Radio UK
‘An outstanding performer.’
– The Independent
‘You always want an exciting new
discovery at a festival, and for many it was Jack
Rutter who provided just that. What prowess he showed
in music, he matched with his skills as a raconteur;
his love and respect for the songs in turn made the
audience joyful.’
– Louder Than War Magazine reviewing Underneath the
Stars Festival
‘In the spirit of the old traditional
singers, Jack Rutter takes a song, shapes it, lives
with it and brings out something unique. This album
makes my heart sing.’
– Kathryn Tickell OBE, BBC Radio 3
‘One of the best albums of its kind in
recent times.’
– Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2 reviewing Gold of Scar
& Shale

How To Be A Better Human Saturday 11th March
In 2019…I lost my
Dad. Well, I didn’t lose him. I knew exactly where he
was – in the coffin at the front of the crem. How to
Be a Better Human is a spoken word comedy about
grief, loss and self-acceptance. It tells Chris’
story of losing two of the biggest relationships in
his life – Dad and Wife – in the space of a few
months. It finds the lightness and humour in death,
loss and divorce, exploring how they help us become
better at empathising, connecting and understanding.
How we can lose everything and still find the
strength to rebuild. How growing a beard can be the
best decision of your life, and why some hedgehogs
are absolute d*******s.
Performed by Chris Singleton and
directed by Tom Wright, How to Be A Better Human uses
PowerPoint comedy, poetry, autobiographical
storytelling, original music by Reece Jacob and
animation by Huckleberry Films to open accessible
conversations about grief, loss and mental health.
“A true artistic vulnerability that
absolutely chimed with our audience.” – Rio Matchett,
Leeds Playhouse
“A superb and slick debut. A son’s
touching eulogy to his dad. A man bettering himself
in the face of adversity. A surprisingly hilarious
top night out.”- Porl Cooper, Harrogate Theatres
“There are autobiographical shows that
ask ‘why me?’, and shows that ask ‘what can we learn
from this?’ It is clear which one this is.” – Richard
Warburton, Artistic Director of Theatre in the Mill
“It’s the humanity of Chris’ writing
that compels you: candid, unafraid, harrowing,
startling and compassionate in all the best ways,
pulled together with a clarity of vision and beauty
of language that simply will not let you go.” – Dawn
Bauling, Indigo Dreams
“You make grief accessible to
the masses.” – Audience member

Bootleg Blondie
Saturday 18th March
Bootleg Blondie
are the world’s NUMBER 1 tribute to Debbie Harry and
Blondie, established in 2001.
This band are the only tribute to have
performed with two original founder members of
Blondie, legendary drummer Clem Burke and singer,
songwriter, bass player and author Gary Valentine. BB
had the honour of being thanked on Blondie’s 11th
album ‘Pollinator’ and have performed at the infamous
CBGB club in New York city, appearing regularly at
many top festivals and venues in The UK and Europe.
Lead singer Debbie Harris (as seen on BBC 1) says her
pride and joy is her guitar that she plays during her
shows, signed by all the Blondie members.
To celebrate 45 years since the
release of Blondie’s iconic 1978 album ‘Parallel
Lines’ Clem Burke joined BB on drums for not one but
two UK tours in 2019 covering nearly 5000 miles and
playing to over 7000 people.

China Crisis Friday 14th April
By arrangement with Selective Agency,
Square Chapel are delighted to welcome China Crisis.
A combination of truly engaging music, a
good bit of Scouse humour, and the clear kinship the
band have with their fans, any China Crisis show is
one you leave happier for having been part of. Their
live performances are truly must-see!
The early 1980’s heralded a second
Liverpool-based musical renaissance responsible for
producing not just new wave legends OMD, but also the
diverse likes of Echo and the Bunnymen, Teardrop
Explodes, A Flock of Seagulls and Frankie Goes to
Hollywood. Amongst these lauded Merseyside acts was
China Crisis, emerging in 1981 from their native
Kirkby as the song writing duo of
vocalist/keyboardist Gary Daly and guitarist /
vocalist Eddie Lundon, who over the years have been
accompanied by a gifted and creative but ever-mutable
group of musicians both on stage and in their
recordings.
Did you know that China Crisis classics
have been sampled into modern singles by the likes of
French Montana and Action Bronson? The band’s songs
have also been chosen for use in contemporary cinema
such as with the hit film Gone Girl and the immensely
popular Sex Education on Netflix, all introducing
their music to a whole new audience.
The band have just released
their “40th Anniversary: Live from the Liverpool
Philharmonic”, a lovingly produced live concert video
from their inaugural 40th Anniversary show which
features songs from every one of their albums (some
never performed live), recorded in their hometown
with an all-star 16-piece China Crisis band.

The Smyths: 20th Anniversary Tour Saturday 8th April
More than a
tribute, but an experience that embodies the sound
and spirit of The Smiths!
The group formed the band back in 2003
born out pure passion for The Smiths.
We didn’t just want to be a tribute band
– we wanted to play the music of The Smiths and
recreate what is was to see and hear The Smiths live
– it just happens that when you do that, the world
calls you a tribute.
No silly wigs or props, just expertly
rehearsed week in week out to perfect that genuine
sound- The Smiths and their fans (like the band)
demand nothing less.
Fast forward 18 years and some 760 shows
later this class act are now spoken of as being in
the top tier of tributes globally. Having played throughout
the UK, overseas and at major festivals such as
Glastonbury. The group have also appeared on numerous
TV and radio shows and many a newspaper column
written.
The word tribute has also developed and
grown in respect in that time, coming to represent
something that is not silly or trite but the best way
to see and experience the music of bands no longer
with us played by artists who are as passionate and
dedicated to their shows as actors and actresses.
For this group, it’s a pleasure
and privilege to be seen as the foremost tribute to
The Smiths!

Geoff Norcott: Basic Bloke Thursday 21st September
New national tour for star of Have I Got
News For You, A League Of Their Own, The Last Leg,
Would I Lie to You?, Live At The Apollo, 8 Out of Ten
Cats, Backstage With Katherine Ryan and many more!On
this his sixth UK tour, Geoff Norcott will be trying
to make sense of the current cultural and political
scene with his playfully provocative brand of humour.
Whether it’s the dire blandness of the two main
parties or the shamelessly shoe-horned right-on messages
in adverts and films, Geoff will continue to tread in
areas much of comedy leaves well alone. But this time
around he also has a mission. As well as casting his
everyman eye over what’s happening in wider society,
Geoff is trying to unpick what’s happening with your
average bloke. Remember them?
It’s been a rough couple of years for
blokes. Toxic masculinity has grabbed all the
headlines and ruined it for communal garden geezers,
who have been put under the microscope like never
before. At first glance, there’s not much to examine
– there’s no Bloke 2.0.Taking up his own
bloke’s-eye-view, Geoff can see that despite the
social media vortex, your man in the street, average
Joe, man on the Clapham Omnibus and your John Smiths
just keep plodding on, fuelled by a diet of football,
sheds, super-hero films, sporting autobiographies,
wearing socks at all times and strategically burying
feelings when necessary.
However, under the paraphernalia of
manhood and the sometimes basic, even primal,
behaviour of dads and lads, Geoff can see that there
is something mysterious and definitely non-toxic
going on.A kindly and funny stock-take of both
himself his fellow man, BASIC BLOKE unlocks some of
the more complicated behaviour of your husbands, dads
and brothers.
‘He’s a class act with a mature,
sharp take on modern politics.’ Sunday Times
