About this Event

2pm- 3:30 pm  

Join us in Conversation with acclaimed author and Folklore lecturer Ceri Houlbrook, Author and Poet Louis Glazzard, Alison Cooper musician, composer and artist (Magpahi) and Lucy Wright –Featured Artist, and creator of Future Folklore Archetypes. The panel have all contributed to The Weird As Folk exhibition, and will discuss pre-nominated and live audience questions, covering the amorphous and contested canon of ‘folklore.’  

4pm - 5pm 

Living Machines will Play Us Out! 

Living with Machines is a vibrant new collaborative project which breathes fresh life into 19th century strike and industrial songs of the North of England. The Yorkshire-based collective’s self-titled debut album brings together long-untouched archive material from the British Library, carefully recrafting these old songs for the modern audience. 

“These powerful new melodies sound like they were meant for the lyrics, while the subject matter of striking, hardships and disasters will still resonate with listeners today.” (Steve Tilston)
