The UK is getting tuned up for Make Music Day, a Summer Solstice celebration, on the 21st June 2017 with major free music events planned throughout the country.

Make Music Day is working with Music in Offices and ABRSM to put together a Big City Sing and Yamaha Music London is planning an eye-opening trip to give some young guitarists a day to remember – keep looking for more details on these stunning events. In London Bridge Station and the surrounding area musicians will be performing during the day and through into the evening. At rush hour, The Choir With No Name will be leading a summer sing-along to brighten everyone’s journey as they pass through one of London’s busiest commuter hubs. There will be a special lunchtime alfresco Ukulele Wednesday at Redcross Gardens, London. Anyone in the area, residents or workers are invited to bring their ukulele to this tranquil garden between 1- 2.00pm and join in.
 
The Ukulele Wolves and Making Music Member choirs will be travelling around Cardiff by bus popping up at various locations thorough out the day to play and sing. They will be at the Chapter Arts centre, 2.30pm, Grange Gardens Pavillions, 3.30pm, and Mermaid Quay, 4.15pm and the steps of St David’s Hall, 5.00pm. In Edinburgh, the Stockbridge Colonies Choir with Jennifer Sterling and a guitar accompaniment will be leading a Come and Sing event, open to anyone in The Grassmarket between 5.30 – 6.30pm. There are lots of open rehearsals across the country. For instance, The Grand Central Chorus, in Nottingham, Albacappella in Aberdeen and Oxford Harmony, Cumnor to name but a few.
 
Around the country newly regenerated band stands will be put through their paces celebrating Make Music Day. Notable events are taking place in park bandstands in London, Watford, Walsall, Stourbridge and Swanage.
 
Some of the UK’s biggest shopping centres and streets are welcoming choirs, musicians and bands into their midst. Highlights can be seen in York, Edinburgh and London. Libraries in London, Yeovil, Norwich, Dorking,Nottingham and Leeds will be hosting performers throughout the day.
 
Across the country groups will be playing, singing, strumming and jamming the official Make Music Day song, Bring Me Sunshine. Music Sales have provided official arrangements for various combinations of voices and instruments. Free downloads are available at:  http://www.makemusicday.org/uk/participate/make-music-day-song/
