There will also be opportunities to chat informally to representatives of MusicLeader, Northern Cultural Skills Partnership, the Community Foundation, the Sponsors Club for Arts and Business, Making Music and Platform, and find out more about the facilities available to community groups at Green Dragon Studios.
Community groups are also invited to perform at the event. Provisional slots are at 2pm, 3.50 or 5.45, and will last for around half an hour but groups are also invited to get in touch to arrange a time that suits them.
Join us to celebrate another year of music making!
