Thanks to Adam for this update on the Shhh…it’s a library music tour. Ed
The finale of the ‘Shhh…it’s a library music tour’ is taking place on Wednesday July 24 at Cowes Library.
The innovative idea of bringing live music to the Island’s libraries has been a great success with hundreds of people attending the evening concerts over the two months.
All tour musicians taking part
The final live music event of the tour will feature all of the musicians who have taken part in the tour to date.
The melancholic barge folk style of Floella Grace, the acoustic and Irish folk inspired songs of singing, song-writing duo Chris Quniton and Ben Johnson and the Indy blues rock and roll originals of semi electric band PhreakAudio.
Free entry
The Supporters of Cowes Library Group will be supplying refreshments and the whole night is free.
The ‘Shhh…it’s a library music tour’ is the brainchild of senior library assistant Adam Gaterell, a keen musician himself, who wanted to explore ways of getting people, who wouldn’t normally visit a library, through the doors.
Libraries are community hubs
Adam said,
“I want to express how thankful I am to the musicians, staff, volunteers and audiences for making these nights truly show that libraries are now community hubs and not just places that offer books and DVDs. I hope people will come to the finale and help us celebrate such a great series of events, it will be a great finish to a great tour.”
The event, which has an informal atmosphere with original music from local musicians, is open to people of all ages.
