THE PAPERBOYS
For 25 years, Canadian
band The Paperboys have
been touring the world
and lighting up stages with
their freewheeling blend of
influences from Celtic and
bluegrass, to Mexican son
jarocho, brass bands, and
Canadian roots. Although the
Vancouver based band have
made critically acclaimed
records, they are through and
through a live act.
For their 25th anniversary the
band has released a brandnew
CD and will embark
on a European tour before
finishing the year in the US
and Canada. Once again,
The Paperboys are poised
to bring their adventurous
vision of Canadian roots
music to festivals, dance halls
and theatres everywhere,
spreading good cheer and
great music and we are thrilled
to welcome them to Otley for
the very first time.

LAKEMAN – ‘ON
REFLECTION’
TOUR
Kathryn Roberts and
Sean Lakeman have long
established themselves as
one of the UK folk scene’s
most rewardingly enduring
partnerships. To celebrate
25 years of making music
together, the couple will
revisit and reinterpret songs
which span their career. From
the early days of folk super
group Equation through to the
current release Personae with
a nod or two along the way to
their extra-curricular musical
adventures, the evening
promises a whistle-stop tour
through their artistic journey
to date.
