Calder Del Sol Sessions 2022

2024

Fast becoming the hottest social gathering in West Yorkshire, Flash Atkins Music's monthly 'Calder Del Sol Sessions' at Barbary’s are bringing a bit of the classic Ibizan vibe to Mytholmroyd in the Upper Calder Valley.

With a soundtrack covering all corners of the record shop provided by Flash & the occasional guests, this after work social shindig is a must for music & craft beer lovers alike.

For the month of June it was Paper's #1 brew maker Chris Massey Music's turn to join a top crowd with top musical vibes on the hottest day of the year so far.
It was so good they even made the sunshine instantly disappear pretty much as soon as it started.

Part 1 of the 4 hour mega fest is avail here...tuck in for a fest of sounds of jazz, balearic, cosmic, outsider pop, sun drenched soul, funk, chuggy disco and of course a few choice Paper cuts.

My recent set in two parts from the Calder Del Sol Sessions at Barbary's, Mytholmroyd, West Yorkshire. Four hours African music from all across the continent and I felt like I could have kept going for another four.

The first Calder Del Sol of 2023 kicked off with guest DJ Atiké who took it to town. The whole night was recorded but due to a technical fault, Flash's warm-up was the only bit that survived.

Superhero/ Sound Manipulator


Flash Atkins is a super hero who had his gravy days in the 80s saving the world with his ability to manipulate sound.  Unfortunately he's fallen on hard times and can be spotted in the less salubrious parts of London, Manchester and West Yorkshire often stoned or drunk on borrowed money and time.

To make ends meet he uses his special powers to remix and make deep disco music for Paper Recordings.

Let’s hope it gets him back on track.
