Folk supergroup Bellowhead is creating a brand new piece for young musicians to perform at Swindon’s Steam Museum on Sunday, March 4.
The award-winning, 11-piece folk band will perform live with 120 young Wiltshire musicians after six months of intensive folk workshops for the young string players.
The concert will be the start of a co-ordinated weekend of live music events nationwide called Music Nation, which was devised and led by the BBC to celebrate the richness, diversity and excellence of Britain’s musical life.
Percussionist Peter Flood from Bellowhead has composed a piece of music called Vici for the young collective, known as Superstrings.
The workshops have been held in Marlborough, Woodborough, Salisbury and Market Lavington.
Tickets for the concert at the Steam Museum are £20 and can be obtained from the website www.steam-museum.org.uk
