WELCOME We’re excited to present our new season at More Music.

There’s something for everyone here at More Music in Morecambe, with activities for families, young people and community celebrations.

SEP18— APR19

We’re looking forward to seeing you for a great line up of events with More Music. I know I’m looking forward to the sizzling rhythms of Rafiki Jazz and the passionate poetry of Tony Walsh. And the Lantern Festival will be here again to warm even the coldest of winter days.

As the nights draw in we’re ready to brighten up your days with sessions and songs, so why not come and join us?

The Lamp Show

Haiku Salut are a unique proposition, sweeping between all manner of genres but never losing the soft focus of the instrumentals that provide their back-bone. Rising from minimal, glitchy pop songs into moments of distinct and awe-inspiring grandiosity. They also feature on the 2017 Public Service Broadcasting album Every Valley. haikusalut.com

Tony Walsh

Rafiki Jazz

Standing two metres tall, Tony Walsh is often billed as a ‘giant,’ a ‘colossus’ or a ‘towering talent’ on the UK performance poetry scene. As Longfella he has a long-legged logo, but it’s his remarkable poetry, rather than his notable height, which makes him really stand out from the crowd. His trademark mix of intimacy and controversy, comedy and tragedy has stunned audiences from grass-roots poetry gigs to international literature festivals.

feat. Annie Whitehead Rude 2.0 is the FX-laden quartet of Annie Whitehead (trombone & effects), Chris Dowding (trumpet & electronics), Jennifer Maidman (bass) and Liam Genockey (drums) playing a mixture of free improvisation, combined with reggae, funk and other grooves.

Annie is originally from Oldham, she has worked with Penguin Café Orchestra, Carla Bley and Robert Wyatt and toured with South African Jazz big band The Brotherhood of Breath.

David Ross is a restless and unconventional multi-instrumentalist who brings an intensely musical quality to every instrument he touches. In recent years he has become increasingly absorbed in analogue electronics and has developed The Davestation an electronic instrument morphed from his earlier invention The Drossillator.

WHERE

More Music or maybe you want to learn to play in a particular genre or style - jazz, folk, or even music from China!

Maybe you want to learn a particular instrument - drums, bass, trombone -

Our friendly and experienced music leaders will help you to develop new skills, even if you’ve never played before. You’ll quickly learn essential techniques and build your confidence.

Music Making for Young People

It doesn’t matter if you want to be a drummer, a guitarist or a saxophonist More Music has lots for young people aged 6 to 25 years to do.

There are lots of opportunities for non-instrumentalists too: singing and songwriting or learning about music production and the music industry.

There’s no better way to channel your creative energies and have fun than making music with your friends. If you think you’ve got the makings of a great jazz, rock or pop artist, or if you just want to try something new, then why not come down to one of our evening sessions and see where it takes you.
