We’re so excited to bring music to Gisburn Forest - Forestry England! 🎊🎉🎶🎼 make sure you get this in your diary and book your tickets!
We are back! With a HUGE announcement!
We are incredibly excited to announce that we have been awarded funding from the Facebook.com/PRSforMusicFoundation Early Career Promoter Fund.
Beginning in August, we will deliver a series of three live music events at The Mezz, Gisburn Forest Hub, in the Forest of Bowland.
Our first show announcement is imminent, but in the meantime, here is some info about what we are aiming to achieve..
Set in a distinctive rural location, this series will create opportunities for rural audiences to experience live music in a local, non-traditional music venue whilst also creating opportunities for under-served grassroots artists to perform away from the usual town-and-city touring circuits.
Alongside supporting artists with fair pay, the series aims to build a sustainable partnership with the venue and contribute to a more resilient grassroots music ecology in the region. By combining consistent programming with strategic audience development, this work represents an important next step in establishing a long-term, sustainable live music offer in the Ribble Valley.
