Brown Wimpenny, an eleven-piece collective, headlines a fundraising show at the Trades Club on 19 September, put on by the promoters behind the Hebden Bridge Folk Roots Festival. Lancashire dialect singer Jennifer Reid and progressive folk musician Satnam Galsian, who blends Punjabi folk traditions with personal storytelling, round out the bill, and a free open session follows the performances.
The show raises money for the festival's full return in 2027, when it plays across the Yorkshire town from 17 to 19 September with a mix of local acts and bigger names in contemporary folk. The last full edition of the festival ran in 2023, with past lineups including Stick In The Wheel, John Francis Flynn and Lunatraktors.
Next year's festival is organized by the Townfolk committee alongside the promoters behind Choir Of Outsiders and Black Acorn. Tickets for the September fundraiser are on sale now through the Trades Club, part of the festival tracker's look ahead to next summer.
