There is a host of hidden musical talent in the communities in and around Towcester and it has been a pleasure to discover this and facilitate an opportunity for these musicians to perform.
It is known that live music and events positively impact performers, venues and their audiences. This event will showcase these benefits, including fostering social connections, enhancing venue ambience, delivering shared experiences, and enhancing positive physical and mental health and well-being.
Kelly Comments, “As a recent winner of a BIPC Northamptonshire Build Your Business Grant (part of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund administered by WNC, funded by UK Government) I am delighted to be delivering Melody Woman Music’s first piece of Creative Production within our home town. Towcester is a vibrant place with incredible business, welcoming hospitality venues and a strong sense of community, and it is a pleasure to be working towards our shared goal of a thriving Towcester ”.
We look forward to welcoming you to the event to find out more about the historic market town of Towcester and discover and support its business, venues and musicians.
