About
Spend an evening with legendary Wakefield musician and artist Bill Nelson, founder of the iconic band Be Bop Deluxe.
In conversation with Ian Haydock, Bill will reflect on his remarkable career, his memories of growing up in Wakefield, and the vibrant local music scene that helped shape him during the 1960s. The discussion will be accompanied by a selection of photographs and archival images, bringing Bill’s stories to life on screen.
The evening will also feature a screening of Bill’s acclaimed film Wakefield via Time Machine, a unique and evocative journey through the city’s past.
With a carefully curated music playing before and after the main event, this is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the city’s most celebrated creative figures.
