Description

The Haley Sisters, Iain Glover & Joolz Cavell have been playing their wonderful ?Country Meets Folk? evenings for almost a decade now, and we are delighted to welcome them back to the Town Hall. Expect a stunning evening of, well, country and folk, with innovative collaboration, wonderful musicianship, and a wonderful choice of songs.

The Haley Sisters - Jo-Ann and Becky from Harden near Bingley, along with award-winning songwriter, slide guitar and flat picker Brian - first appeared professionally back in 1989. Over a successful singing career they have played Americana, country, folk, blues... any song from any genre that feels good gets their magical blend of vocal harmonies and top-notch musicianship.

Iain Glover and Joolz Cavell first met at a local folk club in 2007 and it was ?music at first sight?. Iain, a veteran of 40 years on the folk scene affectionately known as "the miserable mandolin player", added his mandolin to Joolz's contemporary folk style. She, in turn, added percussion to his more traditional range, and a partnership was born out of the sheer enjoyment of folk music. Ian is also a Town Hall veteran having played here in the 1970s with The Crofters.

Doors 7pm for a prompt start at 7.30pm.

Providing recreational, cultural and educational events and meeting spaces for the residents of Mashamshire and our visitors, the Town Hall celebrated its centenary year in 2013 and is now running its busiest ever programme of events and activities.

The building contains an imposing Main Hall with a large raised stage on the first Floor, with a Small Hall, Committee / History Room, and kitchen facilities on the Ground Floor.

We host a busy programme of performances, films, meetings and classes, craft fairs and coffee mornings, and private hires from conferences to band practice. From nursery sessions through the Youth Club to Indoor Bowls, the Town Hall hosts events of interest to everybody in the Masham community.

The Town Hall is the perfect venue for your wedding reception, affordable and charming. Children's parties are bookable at a special rate for local families.

The entire building is accessible (upstairs via a lift) with induction loop facilities in the Main Hall and Small Hall.

The Town Hall would not still be here without decades of support from the Masham Steam Rally, which has gone from strength to strength since the 50th Rally in 2015 and is now acclaimed as the finest in the North.
