Music Heritage
Trail news
As part of a major physical revamp of Kidderminster’s Town
Centre, plans for a music heritage trail are emerging.
Saturday the 21st sees a sold out Frank Freemans reunion
gig at the Gainsborough Hotel kicking off a fund raising
campaign to help get the project underway. Kidderminster
Arts Festival 2016 will be used as a launch event for the Trail,
using performances and events to dramatize the musical
history of the town.
Loz Samuels is leading on the project; she said ‘I’m trying
to collect as many stories and images as possible together,
so we can create a living archive, this will help inform a new
show which will be performed at the festival next year. If
people have old posters, tickets or stories or press cuttings,
please photograph them and up load them to the page. It’s a
very exciting project which I think will resonate with so many
local people.’
She can’t do it without the help of the people who were
there though so please get in touch if you have something
that could be involved, have posters that you could offer for
scanning, anything you think might be relevant please email
her on loz.samuels@wyreforestdc.gov.uk or you can add your
memories and images to a facebook page collecting history of
music events in Kidderminster

There’s also a crowd funding campaign, started to attract
match funding for the event
