Cuffe and Taylor has signed a deal to programme live music events at The Piece Hall (pictured) in Halifax, Yorkshire.
Cuffe and Taylor is a promoter and is part of global entertainment company, Live Nation Entertainment, and have agreed the five-year deal to co-promote headline shows at the venue.
The Piece Hall was originally opened in 1779 for trading pieces of cloth produced by Yorkshire’s wooden mills. It is the only remaining Georgian cloth hall in the world.
The venue is now a contemporary cultural, heritage and live entertainment destination and has welcomed more than eight millions visitors since it reopened in 2017.
This summer will welcome a number of open air shows, staged within the Grade I listed venue’s 66,000 square foot courtyard.
Headliners include Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Paul Weller, Paloma Faith, Tom Jones, Primal Scream and Nile Rodgers & CHIC, to name but a few.
Cuffe and Taylor founder Peter Taylor said: “We are beyond delighted to confirm we have entered into an exclusive five-year agreement with The Piece Hall Trust.
“This historic and iconic Yorkshire venue is simply stunning. We pledge to build on the work already undertaken by the Trust and deliver an exciting programme which has wide appeal for music fans.
“Live Nation works with some of the biggest music acts in the world and we cannot wait to bring major artists here to Halifax to play this special venue.”
Chair of The Piece Hall Trust, Sir Roger Marsh, said: “Our vision for The Piece Hall to be a world class attraction, means we need to host world class artists and Cuffe and Taylor and Live Nation have the expertise to deliver this.
“So much has been achieved since we reopened four years ago and I’m incredibly proud of that, but we remain hugely ambitious for the future.
“This new partnership with a leader in the entertainment world and a promoter with a great reputation will see our iconic building welcome some iconic acts, cementing The Piece Hall’s reputation as a leading music venue, as well as securing income for the Trust and contributing to the economic regeneration of Calderdale and Yorkshire.”
