The Mill Ballads
21 October 2022 at 7:45pm
The story of Quarry Bank Mill told in words and music. Hear the stories of real historical characters and events which took place in and around Quarry Bank Mill during the industrial revolution
The year is 1845 and Joseph Sefton, played by Stephen Howe, recalls the experiences of his life during the cotton revolution through story telling, song and the music of folk group Trebuchet. The production is a special collaboration for Trebuchet’s musicians, Keith Carter Harris, Mark Seyler and Steve Mansfield, who formed in the early noughties performing self penned and traditional folk songs.
Mark Seyler commented: ‘’We performed The Mill Ballads for the first time in October 2020 to a sell out audience just before the pandemic put future performances on hold. We are all delighted to be back on the road again and looking forward to performing it in the Green Room’s unique studio theatre space in October.’’
Trebuchet’s distinctive sound and the energy of their music combined with the engaging performance of actor Stephen Howe, brings to life this important period of our history, in a unique theatre and musical production which is not to be missed!
