As for True North, there will be guest appearances from Dance United, hip hop artist ‘Tre’ and York St John Samba Band - plus plenty of treats for all the family.

The True North programme is packed full of local talent with singers, authors, poets, dancing and visual artists including Lori Hanson who will be creating large canvas paintings throughout the evening.

Organiser singer-songwriter Paul Mirfin said the original idea of True North had been born out of a desie to help new talent in the arts in the north of England.

After the successful launch in the summer of his band’s debut album Anicent Roads, Paul is now busy at Homefire Studios in Harrogate this month making a new music video filmed by John Shepherd for one of the tracks, All I Want to Be, which he wrote for his daughter.
