Jill Liddington talks about her new book in which she tracks the story of these forgotten suffragettes across the North of England, including Lavena Saltonstall of Hebden Bridge, and offers an utterly original history of suffrage.

Over the last three years The Demon Barbers have gained major recognition for their original and imaginative approach to traditional music and song. With Damien Barber (vocals/guitar/concertina), Bryony Grif¥th (¥ddle/vocals) and Will Hampson (melodeon/harmonica) retaining a solid traditional English base, the band's unique sound is compounded by the driving rhythm section of Ben Griffith and Lee Sykes. 'With The Demon Barbers' driven punchy tunes & songs, drum'n'bass grooves, the odd touch of ska and an ever present feel that this lot know how to party, the result is one of the most exciting acts around' (fRoots '05).
