Last weekend saw a fabulous offering of live music and beer at The Flying Duck in Ilkley which held its ever-popular Beer and Blues Festival.
From Friday evening until late Sunday there was a great atmosphere, with an appreciative crowd enjoying music provided by talented musicians including Ross Tenant, Paul McKendrick, Amber and Ember, Diamond Dad, CC Easy, Ben Blue Waters, David Petit, The Gatsbys, and Mike Burtoft.
In addition to music and beer, the weekend also included brewery tours and Rock n Roll Bingo on Sunday afternoon.

The Flying Duck and Wharfedale Brewery donated 10p from every pint sold to Ilkley Live, the local charity whose primary aim is to promote Ilkley as a town that has community cohesion through live music at its heart.
The Ilkley Live Music Festival returns in 2026 on Friday 10th and Saturday 11th July. Further details will be added to the website: ilkleylive.com
