SUMMER SONGS – COMING TO A HOME NEAR YOU!

summersongDerry City Council is calling for local artists, bands and musicians to help deliver Summer Songs, a programme of musical and arts performances which is to be rolled out to retirement and care homes across the Derry and Strabane area.

With funding made available from the European Union’s Peace III programme and in connection with Music City legacy, the initiative will allow for a number of performances across an eight week period, engaging audiences across the community.

To be included in the programme, expressions of interest are now being sought with completed forms to be returned by noon on 1 August next.

Mayor Cllr Brenda Stevenson said Summer Songs provided a “unique opportunity” for those who might not be able to get the chance to access live music due to their circumstances or level of mobility.

She added: “Summer Songs is a great idea from Derry City Council and one which will help to engage with a number of public members who may sometime feel cut off from the events taking place across the city due to issues with travelling from their care homes.

“This programme will now allow them to now be a part of Music City 2014 and the legacy promise from 2013 to engage with all members of the community.”

Cllr Stevenson concluded: “From across the city and extending to Strabane, residents of care homes and retirement centres will now get the chance to be a part of the live music experience.”

For more information or to obtain an expression of interest, contact Colin Coyle at the Derry City Council Legacy Departmenton [email protected] or call 028 71 365151 on extension 6975.

Volunteer opportunities to help deliver the Summer Song programme can be accessed by contacting Chris Kerr at the North West Volunteer Centre on 2871 271017.
