Last year’s 525 performances helped to produce a £2.3 million boost to the local economy
Organisers say the event, now in its 13th year, promises to be a lucky one for people of all ages and abilities who enjoy playing and listening to music. Thanks to a successful Crowdfunding campaign and support from the Arts Council and Lancaster BID, more people than ever have opportunities to participate in what has become one of the country’s largest city and grassroots music festivals.
Involving music lovers across the generations is one aim of the festival, and organisers say catching them young is key. This year, pupils at Willow Lane Primary School will join those at Dallas Road Primary School in benefitting from festival workshops with musicians ranging from Lancaster rockers, Massive Wagons to Chinese pipa player, Cheng Yu.
Among the acts with disabilities performing will be a signing choir. New attractions for 2023 include performances on unusual instruments in Market Square and an attempt by concert pianist, Siqian Li, to play every acoustic piano in the city centre.
