Cotton Town Chronicles

The presentation was extremely enjoyable – professional and passionate performers using powerful, interesting and varied songs.

Cotton Town Chronicles is a folk song based presentation by Peter and Barbara Snape. With its multi-media format, the presentation provides an interesting overview of working life during the age when cotton and coal were king.

It is a journey in which key moments of social history provide the context for the song to take centre stage. And, each song tells a story – it’s Grease, Grit and Grime; Mills, Mines and Machinery; poverty, struggle, love, humanity and the ability to look on the bright side of life. It is a look at Lancashire Life during this time period through a different lens. It’s a social history synopsis.

Presentation times can be varied to suit differing needs.

Peter and Barbara are available for bookings at folk clubs, festivals, house concerts, local societies and for everyone who enjoys a traditional and entertaining evening.
