Bill Ryder-Jones

Bill Ryder-Jones is a quietly magnetic figure in British music - a composer of fragile beauty and emotional candour. Emerging from The Coral, he traded jangling indie for introspective solo work steeped in orchestration and melancholy. His songs feel like whispered confessions, blending classical flourishes with lo-fi intimacy. Albums such as “West Kirby County Primary” and “Yawn” reveal a man unafraid to explore vulnerability, grief, and humour in equal measure. Rooted in Merseyside, his music carries a coastal wistfulness—at once nostalgic and searching, like tides that never quite settle.

British Fire Service - T397

This talk follows the development of firefighting from the earliest known forms through social changes, the industrial revolution, two world wars and modern day. Nigel will use a wide collection of photographs and also look at the role of women in firefighting, especially during the Great War. Nigel enjoyed a career in the fire service and has been speaking on local history and other related subjects for nearly 35 years. We’re delighted to offer our afternoon talks on a Pay What You Can basis. We believe everyone should have access to educational and cultural opportunities, and that no one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. Our talks are £7 for all – if anyone feels they need to pay less than this, please call the team or visit us in person.
