Mills and Chimneys

Fleet Arts and Derbyshire Cultural and Community Services have worked together to produce ‘Mills and Chimneys’, a series of concerts across Derbyshire which celebrate the county’s historical past through song.



The project has been coordinated by singer-songwriter David Gibb (www.myspace.com/davidgibb) and has brought together a group of musicians from all ages and backgrounds. As well as the concerts all the songs – which were written as part of the ‘Mills and Chimneys’ project - have been recorded for a CD which will be for sale at all of the events. All the musicians, who regularly perform locally, have joined forces to work together as a group for the first time. They are David Gibb, Lucy Ward, Julian Butt, Sarah Matthews, Elly Lucas and Mike Smith.



David Gibb the project co-ordinator, says; “We are really pleased to be working with Derbyshire Libraries and to be involved in this year’s Literature Festival. This is a really exciting opportunity and experience for all involved. It’s a one off event and is not to be missed!"
