A bostin' blend of Black Country culture through the traditions of music, poetry and ballad. Listen to various performers for a massive four hours as well as look at a sample of Black Country books which will be on sale (well we are a library after all!).
What we'll deliver:
- Diversify the type of person likely to use the library services.
- Launch the library as a premier venue for performing artists.
- Raise awareness of the Black Country tradition of passing on local knowledge through music.
Why it's a great idea:
When you think of a library you likely don't imagine music and certainly not live performances. Yet more and more these public spaces are catering to these types of events, proving that far from stuffy, sterile buildings these really are vibrant places that the entire community can be proud of.
Supporting this project by your attendance and backing is a real vote of confidence in this institution which has been a cornerstone of the local community for more than 100 years (107 to be precise!).
Steps to get it done:
- Back that up with a regular series of follow on events.
- Bring in quality performers through connections with local artists.
- Promote them through the council website, social media and word of mouth.
