A season of gigs, events and workshops

Sept – Dec 2014

Hothouse favourites Moulettes return!

Hello!Speaking at the International Society of Music Education in Brazil in July, I was so proud to tell people about the work we do here in Morecambe; of the great shows that take place upstairs at The Hothouse, of the inspirational engagement projects that create new music and opportunities and of the dedicated and skilled staff who work throughout the year for More Music.

We are seen as an inspirational model of community music and in this brochure

you will see just a glimpse of that work with a short season of performances in

the building that starts our relationship with Bury Met and the ‘Smaller Rooms’

touring scheme. We are a charity that believes that culture can transform lives

and we work to support young people and adults who are often living in very

challenging circumstances. Come down to The Hothouse, make music, listen to

music, find the music in yourself!
