Stuff

Other stuff happening at Inkfolk. As you may or may not know, it's a nearly a year ago when we started this little 4 day thing, so what better way to celebrate than with our old friend's The Idiots Are Winning. 
TIAW is an infrequent basement party with the odd red light or two held at the Dance Tunnel in some place called London. They have hosted some great parties with guest DJs such as Chez Damier, I-Cube, Crazy P, and The Unabombers, plus they have hosted one of the famous boat parties out at sea for the Electric Elephant festival in Croatia.
  Originally, Louis and Jake lived in Hebden Bridge, throwing infamous parties under the guises of Boogie-juice and Divided by Dirt, they ran nights with good music policies and picked DJs from all over the world to come and party at the Trades Club. The pair, now a little older from those great days, are still djing and holding quality parties, but have teamed up with another DJ who has also had quite a few years experience on the party circuit, none other than Chris Duckenfield and thus The Idiots Are Winning was formed.
  Chris is basically regarded as one of the finest djs out there, he has been a DJ for over 20 years, and has made a career out of playing other peoples music, not only that but has also made and has been involved with some of the best house music to come out of this country as SWAG and The popular peoples front. He has done countless remixes for the likes of Blaze, Jimi Tenor, Bjork, Ian Pooley, Metro Area and Jesse Rose and now runs All Ears music distribution. This, along with playing at pretty much every esteemed party from here to Sydney, is why he is one of the best DJs around for quality, no nonsense heads down party music.
  So all being well, the sun will be shining, we’ll have music outside, food, dancing and of course great people to make this a top day/night affair, plus ater on take the party indoors. Tickets are £5 (including a lovely BBQ supplied by Scott Patient) and are on sale soon via Idiots in hebden tickets!! or Inkfolk and from Dynamite, 35 Market Street. HB. Doors close at 10pm with or without a ticket!!!

Inkfolk pops its head up once again to celebrate our 1st birthday and what a great 4 days we have install for you with ace music, art, drinking and dancing in our little basement space in Hebden Bridge.

We have a fully licensed bar, serving local craft beers and wines, offer good teas, coffees, non-alcoholic drinks and food in a relaxed atmosphere with great music. Outside there is a lovely canal-side garden terrace which, combined with the exhibition space, makes Inkfolk a perfect place to soak up the community vibe, relax and enjoy good sounds.

Exhibition/Bar/ Live music...WasIst Das presents Sophie Cooper Band + Others tbc

Ned = Sunday at Inkfolk, live down tempo music perfect for Sunday chilling and his last offering with Colin Potter and Slomo was simply sublime. His Wasist Das gigs are a breath of fresh air here in Hebden Bridge and so we welcome him back to Inkfolk for his next foray into the music world with the Sophie Cooper Band. Sophie lives in the valley and has played and released live music with a host of different artists and bands such as Tom Cool, Wing Horses, The A Band plus a few others over the years. Her music has a delightful pacifying folky feel, which we think will be very welcome for those who have stayed with us partying the night before!

We have a fully licensed bar, serving local craft beers and wines. We also offer good teas, coffees, non-alcoholic drinks and cakes in a relaxed atmosphere with great music.

Inkfolk No 5. Spring-ing Up!

Thursday 28/03/2013. 5pm – 11pm
Exhibition opening.

This exhibition will bring together the work of Rowanna Lacey and Kasia Breska.
  

Under the guise of ‘Drawn Surface’ Rowanna creates bespoke designs and unique
illustrations which can be applied onto fabric, wallpaper, or in fact anything
that has a surface. Often using darkly evocative imagery and with a nod to traditional 

and historical pattern design she has created a truly distinctive style, using mixed media to create each 

piece, often using hand drawn illustrations to form the basis of the design. 

Having enjoyed ‘living and breathing’ London
for many years Rowanna has now returned to her hometown of Hebden Bridge where
she lives with her partner and young son high up on the green Pennine hills.

As a response to the flooding which blighted Hebden Bridge and the Valley 

of Calderdale earlier this year, Rowanna has been inspired to develop an 

illustrative anthology under the title of ‘Stolen Sun’ which will be shown at Inkfolk with ‘Pennine Signs’ 

kind sponsorship of Rowanna’s work.

Kasia is a fine artist based in Leeds in Oak House Studios and is a part of the East Street Arts group.

 She works with mixed media exploring non urban/wild spaces, approaching the landscapes as places 

with unique quality of patterns, colours, light and combination of living elements. 

Her recent works are based around Calderdale Valley where the non urban space is approached 

as ‘local’. Kasia explores the fine details and rich diversity of the land as well as connecting the

space with her home land memories and with what used to be ‘local’ to her in Poland, where she grew up.

 Working with drawings, montage and antique/aged paper, Kasia presents her vision of the place and memories 

associated with this exploration.

Friday 29/03/2013. 1pm – Late
Exhibition/Bar/Pop up cinema.

Cinema from 8pm. This will be a Red-Carpet event, so feel free to dress up in appropriate premiere attire! 

Magpie cinema returns to Inkfolk to showcase there quest for independent film screenings. This time bringing Cannes in a Van to Hebden Bridge. Basically CIAV are a four-wheel film festival taking independent films to the heart of Cannes film festival and beyond.....giving films exposure. Where that exposure takes them is an unknown quantity, but it may just help them on their way.

Saturday 30/03/2013 10am - Late
Exhibition/Vintage Market/Bar/Halcyon with guest James Holroyd (Begin/Back to basics)

Saturday daytime we are holding another vintage market with lovely clothing from Sailor and Lula plus a host of other vintage finds, treasures and locally made food.

In the evening from 7pm its party time with vinyl heads CP, Causa and guest James Holroyd. 

Jim has played Hebden Bridge many a time over the years and loves it, his no boundaries musical style fits perfectly with what we do at our nights and we can't wait for him to play at our basement party. Jim has held a residency at the ever present Back to Basics club for many years now plus has been no 1 choice tour DJ for the Chemical Brothers for well over 15 years. He is currently working on his first album under his moniker Begin, and judging from the quality of the first releases, it should be ace. Ticket are £3 on sale via http://www.wegottickets.com or from Inkfolk.

Sunday 31/03/2013 1pm - Late
Exhibition/Bar/ Live music... WasIst Das present Slomo and Colin Potter live.!!!.7pm

Ned is now a staple at our Sunday shindig with his Wasist Das gigs. Here bringing more quality organic electronic music in the form of Slomo and Colin Potter.

Colin’s early work managed to draw lines from the electronic side of krautrock, Throbbing Gristle and Brian Eno and marched forward into the future. After racking up an impressive solo discography and many production credits throughout the 80s, Colin joined Nurse With Wound in 1992. However, despite recording and gigging all over the world with Nurse With Wound, Colin still finds time to not only maintain a high quality solo output, he also collaborates with the likes of Fovea Hex, Human Greed, The Hafler Trio, Bass Communion and many more.

Who else could support Colin but semi-local drone monsters Slomo? They previously played on the same bill together in London last year at the behest of Mr.Sunn O))) himself Stephen O’Malley. Slomo are a duo consisting of local lad Howard Marsden and from Julian Cope’s band, Holy McGrail. They’ve done two albums for prestigious American label Important Records and recently did a sneakily self-released third album, “The Grain”  Tickets are £7 on sale from wasistdas.bigcartel.com/ or £10 on the door.

 If all that was not enough we then continue in to the bank holiday early hours with our Inkfriends after party with music spun by locals Jimmy Welsh (Gezellig) and CP

See you there

Inkfolk xx
