Luke Jackson – with Martha Phillips in support
In less than four weeks we welcome Luke Jackson, a singer/songwriter from Canterbury.

WOMEN AND GIRLS IN WORLD WAR 1
Walking on the Haworth Old Road on a sunny day reminded me how little has changed in Wadsworth over the last 100 years. Reflecting on how the community responded to the First World War, I could almost hear the clacking of clogs as women and girls hurried for their shift at the mills and of children hurrying to a part time session at school followed by a shift at the mill. Much has been written on the experiences of the young men but it really struck me how little recognition of the contributions of their mothers, sisters, wives and girlfriends made to the made to the War effort are acknowledged and commemorated.
