MAKE MUSIC DAY UK - 21 JUNE
On 21 June each year, the UK celebrates Make Music Day alongside over 120 countries worldwide. Free events take place in spaces from parks to town squares, landmarks to libraries, school halls to wild places. Young and old, professional, part-time or amateur, bands, ensembles and soloists perform music of every kind. In France where the Fête de la Musique started in 1982, two thirds of the population now revel in this national celebration with every street corner and city centre teeming with events. Ambassadors include broadcaster Jon Snow, Big Issue founder Lord Bird, violinist Nicola Benedetti, bassist Guy Pratt, Ed Vaizey MP and folk musician Sam Sweeney.
