Charting a love story spanning 50 years, from the Caribbean to Leeds, Melody and Cyril tell their story of migration, love, loss and celebration.  Carnival Chronicles is embroidered with moments from Leeds West Indian Carnival’s half a century history and the accounts of the pioneers and community that brought Carnival to the city of Leeds.
