POPULAR artist Kevin Bell is giving a presentation at Keighley Library.

He will give a talk and display some of his work upstairs at the North Street premises on Saturday, October 19, at 2.30pm.

Paintings being shown, based around the theme of Ewan MacColl's song Dirty Old Town, evoke Keighley scenes from past decades.

Kevin says: "It is an opportunity for people to come along and escape from all the troubles of the world by reliving childhood memories of growing up in Keighley in the 50s, 60s and 70s."

Admission to the event is free.

Calendars and cards featuring many of the paintings included in the talk will be for sale, with all profits being donated to Keighley's Good Shepherd Centre and the Salvation Army.
