Description

Town Hall regulars will know Steve Williams as one of the north's best sound engineers, Masham folk will know him as a biker regularly on the Market Place, but he is also a top-class singer-songwriter.

Steve was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2023; after heavy treatment and a life threatening chest infection he made a full recovery, and also wrote ten original songs, some based on his illness and recovery, and some inspired by his journey back into country music and the blues which he has been playing for many years. After getting the all clear he booked a trip to Nashville and Memphis, and these experiences combine to form the album 10,000 Miles from Memphis, which we are proud to host the launch of.

The album is full of different styles of Americana music ? all close to Steve?s heart - and features Steve on guitar, pedal steel and vocals, along with top session musicians Paul Smith (drums), Neil Harland (bass), Sally Tindill (backing vocals), and John P Taylor (piano, Hammond organ, backing vocals)

Support from extra special guest Lola Rose Wilson, on stage at 7.30pm promptly.

Description

Masham Town Hall is an imposing, Grade II listed stone building built in 1912 and opened in May 1913. Set up by a legacy from the 2nd Lord Masham, the Town Hall is at the heart of the busy, beautiful ansd historic market town of Masham in the Yorkshire Dales.

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.
