What's on in Elland

West Yorkshire, England

Elland sits snugly in West Yorkshire with a character that feels like it stepped straight out of a local pub quiz. The town has a quiet dignity about it, yet there is usually a market stall or community theatre production happening somewhere nearby. It does not need to shout to let you know there are good times waiting around the corner. You can find live music at one venue or a family craft session at another without needing to hunt for answers online. The local cinema shows films while the library hosts story hours that keep even the most reluctant child entertained. Near Here keeps track of what is on so you do not have to waste an evening scrolling through a dozen different sites.

Toby Hay + Holly Blackshaw

Toby HayLauded landscape-inspired fingerstyle acoustic guitar from Wales “one of folk-rocks greatest modern names” — UNCUThttps://tobyhay.com/ Holly BlackshawProgressive psych-folk singer songwriter from Hull via Wales ex-Crooked Weather. https://hollyblackshaw.bandcamp.com/ Toby Hay Toby Hay is a guitar player and composer. Fascinated by the connection between landscape and music, he is inspired by the landscapes of the Cambrian Mountains where he lives, and is interested in the connection between improvisation and composition. Toby has toured all over the UK & Ireland performing solo, or collaborating with other musicians. He is the founder of Cambrian Records. “One of the finest guitarists of his generation.” — KLOF “Magical work of vast melodic scope.” — RnR Magazine “These instrumentals are propelled by a restless breeziness that carries them beyond the familiar landscapes of folk…. A shimmering beauty.” — Uncut “…prolific mid-Wales musician Toby Hay with yet another gorgeous release by the skilful guitarist” — The Guardian “New Music For The 12 String Guitar is a humble title for this magical work of vast melodic scope.” — RnR Magazine “Humanity pours forth from every note on this rewarding collection. Images of dew-soaked countrysides emerge as the pastoral folk settings play, the guitarist gifted with an ability to evoke the soul-nourishing rapture of outdoor landscapes not yet despoiled by human intervention.

Dal:um (Korea - Glitterbeat Records) + ADRA

Dal:um (Korea – Glitterbeat Records)Duo extracting intricate and experimental compositions from stringed folk instruments the Gayageum and Geomungo to create ‘the sound of 21st Century Seoul’: a contemporary approach to traditional instruments by way of minimalism, experimental folk and jazz.https://dalummusic.com/ ADRA Andy Abbott’s ambient, experimental/improv solo project exploring immersion through repetitionhttps://andyabbott.bandcamp.com/…/music-for-psychiatric… 8pm – 10pm (prompt start – live music finished in time for last trains to Leeds/Manc). FREE ENTRY with donations for acts gratefully accepted — more info — Dal:um – alongside peers Park Jiha, Jambinai and Leenalchi – are at the forefront of a new Korean music. The duo of Ha Suyean and Hwang Hyeyoung are virtuosos on two different types of traditional zithers, the gayageum and geomungo, and their music deftly navigates a plethora of contemporary influences: minimalism, experimental folk and abstract jazz. The sound of 21st century Seoul, where the boundaries of tradition are stretched and occasionally broken. Coexistence is released on tak:til, Glitterbeat’s instrumental music imprint, and home to artists such as Brìghde Chaimbeul, Širom, Jon Hassell and Park Jiha. ::::::::::::::::::::: Something magical is happening on the South Korean music scene, and it isn’t K-Pop. Blow away the froth, and it is soon apparent that in the concert halls and clubs of Seoul and beyond, a febrile music scene is bubbling up.
