Neighbours favourite coming to Settle Victoria Hall

Alan, in addition to being an actor, is also a musician, and together with his band, is an established Americana/Alt-country act in the UK and Ireland after three years on the touring circuit.

Fletcher and the band blend rollicking, amusing and upbeat, rhythm and blues Americana with thought-provoking and moving emotional ballads guaranteed to delight audiences of all ages and tastes.

'Songs from the back of a rusty ute', with Alan Fletcher and Jennifer Hansen, and accompanied by Riley Catherall, will be at Settle Victoria Hall on Friday, October 30.

Settle Victoria Hall has just revealed its programme of events for the autumn and winter.

It includes classical music, folk, rock, cinema and opera.

Amongst the highlights are Alfie Moore - well known by BBC Radio 4 listeners for his 'It's a Fair Cop'.

In his show Acopalypse Now, on September 11, Alfie considers the question, 'are we on the road to hell?'

The Four Horsemen of Rising Crime, global warming, AI and culture wars are galloping towards us - are we on the road to hell? And can we avoid the potholes?

Alfie has the antidote to the breakdown of law and order, fake news, and the price of baked beans.

Also this month, Graham Parker, of The Rumour, celebrates the 50th anniversary of the band's classic albums Howlin' Wind and Heat Treatment.

Slinging his signature guitar and singing with inimitable soulful grit, Parker has spent more than four decades carving out a singular place in rock and roll.

A critics’ favourite and a songwriter’s songwriter, he emerged in the mid-1970s at a pivotal moment in British music.

With his band The Rumour, Parker released a run of essential albums that fused literate songwriting with the raw energy that helped reshape rock in the late 1970s.

Mark Chadwick is one of the UK's most successful songwriters and will be in Settle on September 19.

He has co-written 20 chart singles and six Top 40 albums, including a Number 1, as part of the Levellers, the band he has fronted for over 25 years.

Still going strong, the Levellers are festival favourites and have cemented their cherished status with headline performances at Glastonbury, Isle of Wight, Cambridge Folk Festival, Bestival and Boomtown and many European and UK events and in 2003 they successfully created their own annual Beautiful Days Festival which takes place in August at Escot Park in Devon.
