Get It Loud In Libraries (UK)

"This March sees the national roll-out of Get It Loud In Libraries. The award winning programme of live music in public libraries has witnessed incendiary performances from critically acclaimed artists such as Adele, Bat For Lashes and Florence + The Machine, reverberate amongst the traditionally quiet bookshelves. Kicking off the month of music will be the talented 16 year old pop starlet, Daisy Dares You who is due to storm the UK's libraries bookshelves on a six date tour. Get It Loud In Libraries originates from libraries in Lancashire, where the tiny stage has showcased the talents of The Blackout, British Sea Power and Juliette Lewis. The project was conceived by Stewart Parsons of Lancashire Libraries to allow more relevant cultural access to libraries for young people who love music but don't necessarily use libraries. It is proving a popular, original format for delivering the traditional library brief to entertain, inform and educate"
