What's happening in Beeston, Belle Isle, Cottingley, Holbeck, Hunslet, Middleton and Stourton
…A lifetime’s journey in music and words. Presented by Claire Angel Bonner, solo 19th century guitar and spoken word.
Those of you who were around Beeston/ Hunslet in the late days of summer last year, may have witnessed a free classical music concert happening at the roadside on Tunstall Road in our new sculpture park on ‘The Corner’.
In the 19th century, Italian opera was heard not only in the opera houses but at home and on the street: far from being an elite form of entertainment this was people’s music, and it told universal and timeless stories of the quest for love and home.
As the summer wanders slowly towards the autumn, the kids go back to school and the nights start to draw in towards the onset of winter, come and join BasementArtsProject for the second half of our 2023 programme.
Each morning, here on the corner of Dewsbury and Tunstall Road, we are awoken by the sounds of a lost soul crying in the streets outside. The crying is continual and punctuated with screams and shouts.
Yet another new exhibition opens at BasementArtsProject on Thursday 1st June at 5:30pm All welcome, just turn up
Carving ‘On The Corner’ If you ever wondered what it would be like to carve some 260,000,000 year old limestone then this is the project for you. Each session lasts 1 hour and you will have 1-2-1 time with John and Keith who will direct you in the ways of direct carving, power tools and polishing.
