No Masters 20th Anniversary Celebration
We are big fans of a collective of musicians and bands that come together under the banner of ‘No Masters’ and we were lucky enough to see an ad for their 20th anniversary show. It was being held in the Victoria Hall, Saltaire, near Bradford, so we planned to take a few days out and visit a few places on the way or way back and make a proper event of it. The gig was fantastic and all of the acts were top drawer. We had a thoroughly good time.
Saltaire is a great ‘model’ village that was built by a forward thinking mill owner called Titus Salt. He laid out a whole community with the Victoria Hall at the centre (where the gig was played).
In Titus’s time he made sure that there were no pubs or pawnbrokers in the town, so when the restaurant we ate in started up they called themselves ‘Don’t Tell Titus’. It was a popular and lovely place with a great atmosphere and good food and drink.
On our way back down south we stopped at a couple of National Trust properties, both of which were very interesting and beautiful.
