COMEDIAN Patrick Monahan made a triumphant third visit to Haworth to again headline the village’s annual festival.

Stand-up king Patrick performed his latest show – The Disco Years – in the Old School Room opposite the Brontë Parsonage Museum.

As in previous years, he took a walk along Main Street to soak up the Brontë atmosphere before taking to the stage to show off his own popular brand of culture.

During his visit, he tweeted his thanks to the village for inviting him back, adding: “What a truly beautiful place Haworth is, and amazing people!"

He had earlier told his 2,337 Twitter followers that Haworth – one of the smallest stops on his national tour – was “always a great laugh”.

During the gig at the Old School Room, Patrick persuaded some of the audience to perform 1980s-style bhangra dancing to illustrate the first meeting between his mother and father.

In The Disco Years, Patrick relates the story of his life, from the time his Irish father met his Iranian/Iraqi mother in a disco in the early 70s while working in the Saudi Arabian oil fields.

Patrick’s Haworth gig raised £66 for the @toilettwinning campaign, which helps “flush away poverty” by building toilets for some of the 2.4 billion people around the world without one.

Another event returning to the Haworth Festival for the third year was the Heart Trail Run – a popular five-mile off-road run around the paths of Haworth.

Haworth Festival, which is organised each year by a group of volunteers, focused on live performances and the arts, beginning on the weekend of June 18/19 and continuing until the 1960s Weekend.

Adam Sargant hosted a storytelling night at the Haworth Old Hall, which is a regular home of the Worth Valley Storytelling Circle.

An intimate evening of entertainment was provided at Pied Piper Pianos in Mytholmes, with performers including Shaun T Hunter.

The Cobbles and Clay cafe in Main Street hosted several events, including an open mic session where any local performer could join in, and the Brontë-inspired Seasons Of Life, performed by Bradford-based South Asian arts organisation Kala Sangam.

Haworth Ukelele Group held its annual extravaganza in the Old School Rooms, and other performers throughout the week included Reubik, Box of Tricks and former Terrorvision frontman Tony Wright.

There was also a screening of classic concert film Woodstock by Haworth Cinema, while drummers and didgeridoo players got together to play on the lawn of Haworth Old Hall.
