About this years entertainment
City of Bradford Pipe Band
Haworth Steampunk Weekend welcomes the City of Bradford Pipe Band for their Second Steampunk performance!
City of Bradford Pipe Band is a long-running group of enthusiastic volunteers with a proud history stretching back over 100 years. Historically the band is comprised of three sections; Bagpipes, Drums and Highland Dancers
The City of Bradford Pipe Band was originally formed in 1914 as a drum and bugle band by the Bradford Volunteer Force and called the Sports Battalion Band.
In 1917 bagpipes were introduced into the band by Major Hazley from the Royal Scots. On his death the band paraded in the Hunting Stewart tartan and was renamed the ‘Hazley Memorial Band’. By 1923 full highland uniform had been adopted and in 1946 female dancers were introduced. In 1947 another benefactor of the band retired, a local influential business man, Mr R Mansfield, and the band was again renamed the Hazley Mansfield Pipe Band.
In 1962 after the death of Mr Mansfield, the band’s name was changed to the present City of Bradford Pipe Band. Bugles had been replaced by bagpipes, and the band became a fully equipped highland pipe band.
In 1966 at a national competition organised by the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association, the band became the All England Champions grade IV. since then they have competed in competitions all over the country and have been successful in winning the All England Championship three times, the European Championship, the World Drumming and the All England Drumming, besides other numerous minor competitions, grade III and IV.
Over the years, the band’s teams of highland dancers also achieved a long record of medals and trophies won at competitions throughout the north organised by the Scottish Board of Highland Dancing.
2014 saw the centenary of the band’s formation, this obviously warranted some recognition so a celebration event was held for current and former members, friends and families. The High Sheriff of West Yorkshire and Lord Mayor of Braford were also in attendance. This was a great honour for the band to have local dignitaries acknowledge the importance of marking such a milestone.
A new logo was also designed to mark the occasion and used to make new cap badges for our glengarry and feather bonnets
400 Roses
Formed in 2005, the 400 Roses are a unique dance troupe, that combine Tribal Belly Dance with UK-style Folk and Morris Dance. Accompanied live by our band, t’ Thorns.
The Black, Red and White themed costumes use an abundance of red and white silk roses to represent our Yorkshire and Lancashire origins.
The group is based in and practice in Shipley, West Yorkshire.
Frodsham Belly Dancers
Think of belly dancing and what comes to mind? Exoticism, Fry’s Turkish Delight? Forget that! For Frodsham’s Halabia Dancers, the two F’s apply – Fun and Friendship.
The troupe has 9 ladies with ages from 27 to 70, who all possess a love of middle eastern music and movement. There are many health benefits too, as dancing helps with musculoskeletal health, cardiovascular systems and a general sense of wellbeing. It also, very importantly, brings joy to audiences of all ages, from babies to recently a 100-year-old lady!
The troupe started 19 years ago under the expert tuition of Sue Blanchard who at one time held three classes. Numbers gradually reduced but popularity is now growing nationally and internationally.
The essence of belly dancing is learning to isolate different muscle groups and create a seamless movement. This can take a long time to master hence the need for Sue’s expertise and infinite patience.
Performing for the public really binds the group together and they play a large part in our community, dancing at the Festival in the Park, the Christmas Festival as well as nursing homes, Women’s Institute and Mothers Union.
