Renowned deaf musician Paul Whittaker will bring his trademark energy, charm and humour to the Dales for a very special workshop.

More Information (Dales Radio is not responsible for external websites)

Paul will talk about his life and experience of being a deaf musician and lead us in signed songs and music games. Everyone is welcome – of any age or ability and with or without any previous experience of music, deafness or signing. You’ll be moved and inspired whilst having a lot of fun along the way. You’ll learn that signing songs isn’t just about signing the words but about expressing the rhythm and emotion of the music too.

The workshop is being organised by Langcliffe Singers to raise money for an exciting Dales-based project. Funded in part by a grant from the Victoria Wood Foundation and from Settle and Skipton Rotary Clubs, the choir has commissioned locally-born composer Vahan Salorian to write an original piece of music depicting the seasons in the Dales, inspired by hundreds of interviews with farmers, auctioneers and schoolchildren. The piece will be premiered on 4 July 2026.
