The year is 1845 and Joseph Sefton recalls the experiences of his life. While recounting his stories, his thoughts and memories come to life in songs. The Mill Ballads is a music theatre production, which is based on real historical characters and events, which took place in and around Quarry Bank Mill in Cheshire.
Steve Howe playing Joseph Sefton.
From the lives of the child apprentices that Samuel Greg the owner, put to work in his mill, to the tragic events of Peterloo in Manchester. The Mill Ballads takes you to the center of the Industrial revolution and gives an eyewitness account of the changes, that shaped the North West of England and eventually the world we live in today.
Trebuchet are a three piece band from Cheshire who perform these ballads of both original and traditional folk songs and music. Actor and musician Steve Howe has experienced working with touring theatre companies as well as having twenty years of heritage performances under his belt.
