KIRKGATE ARTS OUT WIDE
While it's still not practical to present live performances at the Kirkgate Centre and our Arts Out West venues we're delighted to bring you a range of entertainments - and opportunities to get involved - through the magic of digital technology.
Already premiered - but still available for your enjoyment:
TRIP TO THE LAKES
A musical odyssey around Cumbria - capturing the magic of the landscape and the spirit of the people who love it. Recorded live with socially-distanced musicians, Zoom choir and exclusive video footage.
Double-header featuring outstanding Cumbrian musicians Katie Gentry and marblmoon.
THE BUTTERFLY COLLECTOR
An intriguing new drama specially commissioned from Peter Macqueen.
Family secrets and environmental crisis wrapped up in a tale that crosses generations.
THE RUINED HOUSE OF SKIN - a mesmerising audio experience combining story and song, drawing on Irish myths.
From Nick Hennessey
Cumbrian poets bring their very personal take on life, death and everything in between. Funny, touching - a new slant on the world.
MIKE TURNBULL & THE SAFE KINGS Original modern folk ranging from melodic ballads to energetic foot stompers. Watch now on our FaceBook page.
Striding Edge concerts are a feast of colourful music drawn from their roots in the Cumbrian tradition: soulful ballads with four-part harmony vocals; relevant contemporary songs; lively jigs, reels and hornpipes on a remarkable array of instruments.
NIGHTJRRS presents 'Bound Together' - an immersive audio-visual treat on our YouTube channel.
This programme has been made possible by an Arts Council England Emergency Response Grant. We're very grateful to ACE, and to players of the National Lottery - this is one of the good causes it supports.
