We are delighted to be welcoming back Christine Gregory to Taddington Institute next week (Thursday 25th November 19:30) when she will give a talk entitled ‘A Natural History of Bradford Dale’. Christine is a writer, painter and photographer who has lived in this area for more than 30 years, exploring it extensively and developing a close understanding of its natural history. You may already be familiar with her books and her work for Radio Sheffield and Radio 4 and may remember her fascinating talk on ‘Brown Hares in the Derbyshire Dales’ at the Institute a couple of years ago.
Do join us for an interesting evening.

Admission £4 – includes tea and biscuits.

Live and Local is making a welcome return to Taddington with Bonfire Radicals booked to perform on Friday 25 June at 7:30 at the Institute.

‘Raucous and eclectic, sheer merriment, guaranteed to leave you smiling from ear to ear.’ SONGLINES
‘One of the most exciting and eclectic musical groups I have heard for a very long time.’ ROCK SOCIETY

Birmingham based Bonfire Radicals have emerged from the folk/world scene with a fresh approach to traditional tunes and a host of creative original material. They weave together raucous woodwind, delicate vocals, progressive violin, hard hitting bass, psychedelic electric guitar and percussive beats. Drawing on their eclectic backgrounds, the band chart many divergent influences upon their sound – medieval polyphony, jazz tinged swing, Canterbury sound, klezmer and all points in between. Known for their highly-spirited stage presence, the Bonfire Radicals’ own enthusiasm for their music is undeniable.

£12-00 Standard £10-00 Over 65 £7-00 Under 16s/Students
All tickets will be paid for in advance – payment can be made by cash either to Peter or to Jan or by bank transfer (details available at the time of booking).

As well as following all the basic regulations in place at the time, we will take extra measures to ensure that people feel comfortable and safe. We are not advertising as broadly as usual, so the audience will be mainly family, friends and neighbours.
