BBC Folk Singer of the year, Ríoghnach Connolly, to workshop in Buxton as part of the Our Street Heritage Action Zone youth project.
Plans for the Our Street project are underway across Buxton, with a grand finale booked in for 24th February 2024. Young people aged 13+ are being invited to take part in free music workshops in October and February half terms to create original new music for the finale. Our Street have worked with a youth panel and then called in High Peak Community Arts to help develop their ideas. HPCA have recruited regular instrumentalist, technologist and producer, Gareth Carbery to run a day on recording and producing on Monday 30th October. Gareth will then be joined by Ríoghnach on Friday 3rd November for a day of working by ear, playing together and creating original music. Further workshops will return in February half term to prepare for live showcase of the work at the Our Street finale on Saturday 24th February.
