‘That Spring Thing’ returns to More Music in Morecambe’s West End on Sunday

The free outdoor neighbourhood party of music and arts celebrates the arrival of spring and caring for the environment.

The event will feature live music from Baybeat Streetband, Folk O’Lune, Bay Youth Voices and live music from young performers. There will be opportunities to plant bulbs, make bird feeders from willow, play electronic music with vegetables (really!) with Veggie Synth Jamz and create artwork from flower dyes.

Local environmental organisation Bay Blueprint for Recovery will there to offer arts workshops and share information about Morecambe Bay’s wildlife.

The theme of That Spring Thing is caring for the environment and one way to do this is through the idea of the Circular Economy, which means to repair, refurbish and reuse things rather than throw them away and buy new things.

At That Spring Thing, you can bring your guitars in need of some care and attention for assessment at Guy’s Guitar Clinic. He’ll be able to sort out small jobs on the day for free and provide advice on guitar care and maintenance.

There will be a special Under 5s hour from 1.30pm to 2.30pm, featuring a musical Walk Through The Woods with More Music Early Years team and a Doodlebug Movement workshop with LPM Dance. There will also be a dance performance by Aimee Nicholson entitled ‘Ballad of the Selkie’.

All are welcome to attend and the event is free. For up-to-date information about the event, visit the webpage here
