Formidable flamenco-jazz guitar virtuoso Eduardo Niebla, a world-renowned swing band, a spoof world-music act and a dark new production set in Victorian Yorkshire are all part of the new season at Otley Courthouse.

Eduardo kicks off his tour showcasing new album My Gypsy Waltz, and there’s more music from Manchester-based songwriter Richard Dutton And The So And So’s, and swing maestros King Pleasure And The Biscuit Boys.

Best known as one half of folk duo Show Of Hands, fiddle player Phil Beer performs with Miranda Sykes on double bass and vocals in a concert drawing on folk, blues and acoustic rock’n’roll, while spoof world music band Mundo Jazz, described as a “Latino Spinal Tap”, bring their brand of mayhem to the Courthouse.

Otley Little Theatre presents Humble Boy, about a Cambridge astro-physicist who returns home following the sudden death of his bee-keeping father, and there’s comedy with An Evening With The Humour Of Bob Newhart And Tom Lehrer, dedicated to the American comic legends.

Also on the bill is The Foxhole, set in the heart of Victorian Yorkshire, seamlessly blending theatre, film and art. There are laughs in The Land Of Nod, a comedy sketch show, and the Lempen Puppets blending puppetry and music in a theatrical performance.

For 12 to 16-year-olds there’s the Young People’s Hearts Club Night, a teenagers’ night with headline band, support act, disco, young comics and poets and a juice bar.

And there will be a screening of Down The Wharfe, a film recording a walker’s trip down the River Wharfe from its source to Ilkley, taking in historic places, festivals and sport.
