The Y Street Band Live

The Y Street Band are playing at Thor's tipi on Parliament Street on Sunday 23 August, from 15:30 to 17:30. It's a two-hour set of live music from local bands and artists, part of the tipi's regular summer line-up.

If you've been around the city this summer, you'll know the setup: Thor's tipi has live music running every Thursday and Sunday, so this is one of those regular slots rather than a one-off. The Y Street Band take the lead for this session, with the afternoon's music coming from local acts. It's an outdoor summer vibe, and the whole thing happens under a large disco ball, with dancing and a cold pint in hand. It's the kind of afternoon that works as well for a family outing as it does for a few drinks with friends.

Practical side: it's free entry, so there's no ticket to book and nothing to pay to get in. The official site says 'No bookings, please just rock on up', which is a fair way of saying you can just turn up when you fancy. They're also cashless, so leave the coins at home and bring your card. The tipi is on Parliament Street, YO1 8RU, and the music runs from 15:30 to 17:30 on Sunday 23 August.
