A season of gigs, events and workshops

Apr – Jul 2015

Kate In The Kettle“One of the most inventive performers on the British acoustic folk scene” The Guardian

HelloThe great shows upstairs at The Hothouse will feature one of my favourite bands this summer, Orkestra Del Sol. They mix a street style fun engagement with dancing rhythms and explosive beats. See them out in the streets of the West End, then for an early evening show at The Hothouse on 24 May.

I am also very pleased that we are featuring many local rock, pop, folk and indie bands and artists with our new Friday nights LIVE at The Hothouse. Only £2 to get in – try it out and hear the best of local music.

The Morecambe festival season is building momentum and we are excitedto be supporting the Morecambe Carnival weekend in May, before we gear up to another great seaside weekend for Catch the Wind 2015 in June.

More Music is flourishing and, as ever, working with all our local arts partners to put the district on the map as a great place to live.

I hope to see you somewhere over the summer.

Artistic Director, More Music

Gigs and events at The Hothouse

Orkestra Del SolFeaturing Baybeat StreetbandSunday 24 May 7pmMeet the performers on an afternoon parade on the prom and on the streets of the

West End between 2pm and 4pm. Look out for them busking and running workshops

outside The Hothouse.

Orkestra del Sol create a living, breathing polka-ing, pogo-ing honk-step for the 21st

century. Trumpet, trombone, saxes, accordion, fiddle, two drummers and the epic bass

of the sousaphone conspire perfectly to create soaring horn lines and beautifully layered

harmonies. All driven by an uncompromising rhythm section who deliver the meanest

grooves with a twinkle in their eye!
