Remember 2019 and the first Keighley Arts and Film Festival? We have not been able to go live this year with fantastic performances, so we have devised special events to take place online. Keighley Arts and Film Festival will be accessed via Facebook and Youtube. The online Festival has been named ‘Intimate’ for this 2020 year and will come directly from the sofa’s of our performers to yours.
We have lined up for you exciting events including fresh new talent from Keighley.
Briefly this includes Rose Wheeler and Bryan Diggle performing favourite songs. Some of you will know Rose from the popular Keighley duo Felka, Rose with her beautiful voice and theatrical skills will create something spectacular for Keighley residents. Brian accompanies her on a range of instruments. We are asking everyone to contribute to the selection process for songs on the Keighley Arts and film Festival Facebook. Look out for Rose and Bryan’s first release Friday 31st July – this will be their own rendition of Cars by Garry Numan. Watch out for the extraordinary video! Further releases of remakes of some classic songs will follow as August progresses.
