The idea
- Our Big Gig is a community music celebration taking place across the UK from the 11th - 13th July 2014.
- Our Big Gig will host up to 250 gigs around England across one July weekend
- An Inspired by 2012 project, this annual event brings communities together through local music and inspires people to take part in music making opportunities in their local area.
- All Our Big Gig events are free to attend and last at least 4 hours
- Our Big Gig provides a diverse mix of local artists, groups and performers the opportunity to perform at an event in the heart of their community
- Our Big Gig provides the opportunity for people to have a go at music making
- Our Big Gig allows people the chance to volunteer with and meet their neighbours
What we'll deliver
- Our 'Green Cafe' will be providing the food and drink at the event.
- We will have an 8-piece ukele band on Saturday 12 July, encouraging audience participation and sing-a-longs
Why it's a great idea
This is a great idea for small projects like ours to get involved in a national event. We love hosting music events and bringing people together in our local community. We also think it would be a great way for us to raise funds for our project as there's so much more we want to do!
Steps to get it done
- We have a great team of volunteers, so we'll book the band, market the event and DELIVER!
We already have a license for live music and a lease on the land - all we need is one-off event insurance.
