LMNS Early Years Music Workshops with Mairi McGillivray and Katie Allen, organised by the University of Glasgow.

Live Music Now Scotland offers bespoke workshops and performances for children and young people, many with a range of needs including those whose access to live music might be restricted due to additional support needs, rural isolation or challenging circumstances.

This winter, LMNS is looking forward to collaborating with the University of Glasgow, delivering two participatory music events aimed at an Early Years audience. Folk duo, Mairi McGillivray (voice + fiddle) and Katie Allen (guitar + fiddle) joined Live Music Now Scotland in January 2023 and the pair will host the workshops on Saturday 10th February, offering a day of musical fun for the wee ones.

Mairi McGillivray and Katie Allen are a duo based in Glasgow with a strong belief in making the joy of music accessible to all. They put their own style on songs in Gaelic, Scots and other traditional styles. Through their tunes and storytelling, they take audiences on a musical and emotional journey, while trying to connect with each individual audience by incorporating songs they would be familiar with. Mairi and Katie are well experienced in early years work, and are currently part of the long-running LMNS series ‘Traditional Tunes for Tiny People’.

The events are free to attend and bookings can be made via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/family-workshops-with-live-music-now-scotland-tickets-808866971887
