What’s on in Wakefield in September: Music event coming to Wakefield Cathedral will put “Wakefield’s stories into song”
A Wakefield poet and songwriter is bringing an evening of music and storytelling to Wakefield Cathedral this September.
The event – called WACHEFELD: A Musical Celebration of Wakefield’s Past and Present – will take place at the cathedral on September 6 from 7pm.
The show will be performed by the Wakefield poet and songwriter Ian Whiteley, and his band The Crows of Albion.
On the event, Ian said: “Wakefield is a major city, yet few songs celebrate it.
“WACHEFELD does just that – with upbeat storytelling, catchy choruses, and a real sense of local pride.”
The show – which aims to “put Wakefield’s stories into song” – will consist of an 18-track tribute to the people, places, and history of Wakefield, “from coalfields to cathedrals, Robin Hood to Nellie Spindler, and the Westgate Run to Wakefield Trinity.”
