Events & areas
The upper Calder Valley, from Sowerby Bridge through Mytholmroyd and Hebden Bridge to Todmorden, has a strong independent spirit and a busy calendar of weddings, parties and community events.
We book acts for mills, pubs, halls and wedding venues across the valley, matching performers to some characterful spaces.
Hebden Bridge is reached via Halifax and the A646. The valley road can be busy, so we plan arrival times with plenty of margin.
Weddings, birthdays and community events make up most of our bookings. The valley's love of live music means acts with genuine musicianship, such as guitar vocalists and live duos, are particularly popular.
The upper Calder Valley has a reputation for live music, and audiences here tend to appreciate performers who play as well as sing. Guitar vocalists such as Andy Lee Marsh and Ian Howarth, piano vocalists such as Adam Press and Nigel Passey, and live bands like Triple X are all strong choices for the area's characterful venues.
For characterful venues, consider an acoustic duo or live vocalist. For larger events, a function band. Older buildings may have power or sound limitations, so tell us about the venue when you enquire.
