In 1978 musician Bob Pegg was commissioned by Hebden Bridge Festival to write and perform a sequence of songs, inspired by the memories of older Hebden Bridgers – recollections of the days when the mills and the Methodist chapels were still in full swing.

This event will bring together live performances of the songs, the original recordings of voices from the mid-1970s, and Bob’s own commentary. Bob will be joined by vocal trio INPO, Lynda Hardcastle and Helen Hockenhull, from the Bacca Pipes folk club in Keighley. You can also listen to Bob’s Calderdale Voices in the Town Hall map chair.

June 23, 2:30 pm, £5 - £8, Hebden Bridge Arts Festival 2018, West Yorkshire, Northern England
