Join us for an afternoon of fabulous live music at The Vale as part of our Monthly Sunday Sessions 1pm – 4pm.

A relaxed afternoon of excellent live music in a welcome environment perfect for the whole family. Grab a drink from the bar, bring some pals, your kids, sit and listen or maybe even join our house band for a number or two. And best of all its free! We hope to see you there!

If you’re interested in playing at our Sunday sessions then please do get in touch as we’d love to hear from you!

Our house musicians will be playing a mixture of Latin and Brazilian vibes with an informal ‘Pagode’ style set with a unique Mossley flavour.

What is Pagode?

Pagode is a type of samba originating in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Distinguished by rhythmic improvisation, its acoustic sound is created using a variety of percussion instruments, song and string instruments such as Cavaquinho and guitar.

Special Guest: Helen Curtis

Helen Curtis is a Yorkshire based pianist, singer and percussionist who plays a variety of sometimes niche genres. Trained as a classical pianist, she then extended her musical style to include Swiss yodelling, Cuban piano, Brazilian percussion and Georgian singing.

Nowadays she writes her own music in sibling duo Calluna Sun, sings in Swiss yodel duo Sätteli and plays piano and sings Coro in the energetic Cuban band Charanga Del Norte. She rarely plays solo but when she does she is thrilled to offer up some of her inspirations with music as diverse as from Bela Bartok to Joni Mitchell and some originals put in to the mix.
