Last week I had the great privelege of providing photography for the Hebden Bridge Arts Festival, now in its 20th year.

Despite inevitable funding cuts brought about by current economic conditions, the Arts Festival team and committee overcame all difficulties and put together what to me was the best Arts Festival yet.

A collection of top name acts including poets, writers, bands and singers - and much more -  were joined by some of the finest street performers, over the two free 'Street Sundae' events staged all over Hebden Bridge.

Full galleries of my photos from the week can be found here  and the official HBAF website is at at hebdenbridgeartsfestival.co.uk
