Owter Zeds

This is what ChatGPT has to say about Owter Zeds:

“Owter Zeds is a term that refers to a type of clogs, which were traditionally worn by workers in the mills and mines of Yorkshire and Lancashire in England. The term “Owter” is a dialect word for “outer,” and “Zeds” refers to the letter “Z,” which is the shape of the metal toe cap that was often added to the clogs for protection.

Owter Zeds have become a symbol of working-class culture and history in the region, and they are still made and worn today by some people for traditional folk dancing or as a fashion statement. There is also a folk music band called Owter Zeds, which takes its name from the clogs and specializes in traditional music from the Yorkshire and Lancashire areas.”

That’s artificial intelligence for you…

Or you could come and hear some top ska music!

Jazz Night with Stuart McCallum
2026-09-24 20:30 - 23:00
Stuart McCallum is a genre-defying guitarist, composer, and producer whose music weaves together jazz, ambient, and electronic textures. His solo performances of original material, alongside arrangements of old English folk songs, jazz standards and classical works are defined by spacious harmonic voicings, expressive use of reverb and delay, and melodic and virtuosic improvisation.
McCallum rose to prominence as guitarist with The Cinematic Orchestra from 2004-2012, performing on and contributing writing to their acclaimed albums Ma Fleur, Live at the Royal Albert Hall, and Disney’s award-winning The Crimson Wing soundtrack.
“A one-man guitar orchestra” — Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 6 Music

The All Night Chemist + Ste Morris + Slow Glass
2026-09-26 21:00 - 23:00
THE ALL NIGHT CHEMIST are the newest wannabe dad-rock folk band on the Sheffield music scene. Just a bit too earnest to be truly tongue and cheek, their songs celebrate and mock the mundane while stirring the soul. Anything from cheesy pop bangers about mobile phones, to moody trad folk exploring the modern-day fur industry, their music has storytelling at its heart.Taking inspiration from the likes of Neil Young, Flaming Lips and They Might Be Giants, expect a 70s inspired alt-country romp.

‘Daft and Irresistible’ – Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music
“fascinating and impressive, often surreal, humourous and empathetic, The All Night Chemist are great fun” – Americana UK

STE MORRIS is the guitarist/frontman of much loved Manchester band Jesus Knievel whose new project SLOW GLASS has allowed him to take his music in a more melodic and pop-orientated direction (without scrimping on his impressive guitar pyrotechnics). It’s the sound of classic 70’s pop put through a scuzzy alt-rock mangler.
