Enkelit
Wainsgate Chapel,
Old Town, Hebden Bridge
3.00pm to 5.00pm
£8 (£6) £2 under 17s
Directed by Richard Pomfret, Enkelit is a small, uppervoice
choir formed in 2003 primarily to sing the
beautiful a-cappella music of Finland which is strongly
influenced by its folk tradition. The group take its name
from the choral piece which inspired its creation: Enkelit
(Finnish for ‘Angels’) by Tellu Turkka. The repertoire is
very contemporary, mostly written in the last twenty
years, thus reflecting the renaissance of Finnish
choral music. The choir also includes pieces
from Bulgaria, Estonia, Iceland, Russia and the
Czech Republic in its repertoire.
NB: there is no parking at the Chapel: please
park in Old Town Mill Lane, walk or catch the
bus. See www.wainsgate.co.uk for map.
‘Exceptional, extraordinary, exciting and utterly
different from any other choir I’ve ever heard’

Todmorden 2008)

Ian Marchant ñ Performance and Quiz
Sponsored by Moyles
Moyles,
New Road,
Hebden Bridge
8.00pm
£5 includes quiz entry
 Writer, performer and self-confessed pub quiz addict
Ian Marchant is the author of Parallel Lines, an
investigation into the British love affair with railways,
and The Longest Crawl, an account of a pub crawl
between the Scilly Isles and The Shetlands that takes in
many essential and intoxicating stops in between. Part
memoir, part irreverent lecture tour, Ian’s books and
performances are genre-busting excursions off the
beaten track.
Ian will follow his performance by hosting a quiz, which
will feature a special HBAF 09 round. Come and test
your knowledge over a pint or two of Festival Ale!
‘Drunkenly funny, obsessively factual, soberingly
poignant.’ (Simon Armitage on The Longest Crawl)
