DIRTY SUNBEAMS’ GIG OF THE MONTH FOR NOVEMBER:
Noise In The Valley Festival, Sowerby Bridge – Saturday 16th November
It’s billed as ‘Yorkshire’s noisiest rock, punk, grunge and folk all-day festival’ and they’ve gone and nailed down a heck of a headliner to prove it. The acclaimed Leeds DIY indie-rock outfit Pulled Apart By Horses are the stonking big name on a line-up of 16 bands across four venues. No set clashes either so you can get to see every single one should the desire take you.
Oh and it’s totally free. Did we mention that? Yes, free! A thing of rare beauty these days. Funded by Culturdale, all in the name of celebrating Yorkshire’s indelible footprint on the grassroots music scene. Keep an eye out for local bands Goo and The Tall Trees among many others. More>
