Barbara and Danny grew up in Dockfield, in Shipley –

Barbara and Danny grew up in Dockfield, in Shipley – on a little strip of land sandwiched between the River Aire and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. With simple props and jokes at each other’s expense, they tell us the story of their “island” home, with its heavy industry and happy memories. But as they reminisce, they find more to what unfolds than nostalgia. Their tale maps out a possible future.

Listen to their story and tell your own this weekend at @aireriverstrust’s This Island’s Mine performance. For more information head over to the link in their bio and click ‘This Island’s Mine’.
