York Alive is working with venues throughout the City to bring an exciting and dynamic programme of events this October to theatres, music venues and pubs. York Alive is the brainchild of Miles Salter, who ran the York Literature Festival successfully for2008 until 2016.
‘I’m driven by a desire to see York have a great Arts Festival’ says the author, storyteller and band leader Miles. ‘We have so much to offer. Badging things together helps to raise awareness of the fantastic arts scene in York.’
Venues include York Barbican, Grand Opera House York, National Centre For Early music and Victoria Vaults. Contributing acts in 2023 include: The Waterboys, Howard Jones, Paul Carrack, Gabrielle, poet Helen Mort and acclaimed spoken word performer Luke Wright. For blues lovers there’s York blues band DC Blues, American guitar wizard Toby Walker and Belfast emerging blues star Dom Martin
‘I hope that this festival can become a regular yearly event, I must be crazy!’ says Miles
