The work of a Morecambe music charity in the local community has been celebrated by The King at a special Windsor Castle reception.
Representatives from More Music were invited by His Majesty King Charles III to attend a reception at Windsor Castle in recognition of the charity’s community music making in the town.
More Music team members attended the reception last week, where they met The King, alongside The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.
The More Music staff attended the reception which was held to recognise supporters of community music across the UK.
Marianne Barraclough, Executive Director, More Music, said: “It was an honour to be invited to attend the royal reception, celebrating the best of community music making in the UK, and flying the flag for Morecambe and the North West.”
Community musician Jack Boynton was one of the party who met The King, and said: “I was invited as part of More Music’s Eco Collective, the charity’s young producing group, who are planning a community climate action music festival Three Degrees Festival in July this year.
‘’I started at More Music as a participant ten years ago and really appreciate the guidance and support I’ve received from the organisation as a participant, trainee music leader, volunteer and community musician.
‘’I’m grateful for the way More Music values creativity and its approach to learning and community and has allowed me to grow musically and personally”.
More Music is a music and education charity based in the West End of Morecambe, with 30 years of experience delivering workshops, training, performances and festivals across the district, region and beyond.
More Music seeks to build confidence and spirit in individuals and communities through the arts, and is an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation.
