It looks like the music festival in sunny Morecambe is probably going to be able to go ahead this year – hooray!
So clear your diaries for the weekend of 13th-15th August 2021 with music acts booked in at least 26 venues around the town.
The official website of the festival is https://morecambemusicfestival.uk/
“Massive” congratulations to local rock band Massive Wagons for winning Best British Album in Planet Rock’s “The Rocks Awards 2021”!
They also came 2nd place in the “Best British Band” and “Best British Single” categories. An amazing achievement for the lads.
Catch them on the 14th of August at The Platform in Morecambe, or at a number of festivals this summer around the country.

What a strange time it has been recently hey? I hope that everyone is well and has made it through the horrible events since Coronavirus. I know it’s been very hard for pretty much everybody.
I know that you’ve all, like me, been really missing live music. It’s so great to see it slowly returning – and so I’ve decided that so should this website! Expect a lot more activity here from now on. I’m hoping to add some more features so if you have any ideas, or would like us to post an article that you’ve written, please get it touch!
Until some time very soon, take care.
The Morecambe Music Festival now has it’s own website, featuring full details of the venues and acts, and at what times you can catch them. M6 Media have done a great job with the website so go and check it out.
It should be a fantastic day, so please show your support.
Local DJ and producer Matt Thistlethwaite has had a track called “Kick Back” selected by rock star DJ Fatboy Slim for a new album Road to Evissa, which is on the Birmingham based Trouvè Grooves label.
July the 8th 2017 is the date set for the first ever Morecambe Music Festival. It sounds as though it’s going to be a great day of entertainment so clear your diary now!
Organiser Stuart Michaels is putting together the plan for the day and will shortly announce the acts and venues.
He recently conducted an interview with official sponsors of the festival, The Bay radio.
Put this date in your diary – Sunday 20th December 2015 from 2pm to 11pm at The Trimpell Sports & Social Club, Morecambe – it’s the only place to be!
A full day of fun and entertainment, in aid of children’s charity Unique Kidz & Co, over 20 live music acts, plenty for kids to enjoy and of course the Trimpell bar. It’s just £3 entry per adult and all children go free!
It’s going to be amazing and unmissable – please come along and support the charity. You will have a fantastic time!
Here’s more of what to expect:
Come along and pay at the door on the day. Invite your friends and family and let’s kick off Christmas in style!
A group of talented local musicians and singers have joined forces for a Christmas charity single. They’ve recorded a version of The Hollies’ ‘He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother’ to raise money for Unique Kidz & Co., who provide specialist services for disabled children and their families.
Last year they recorded ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’ and raised £1,850 for Unique Kidz. This year they hope to raise even more.
Watch the video above, but more importantly support this very worthy cause by purchasing the single. 100% of the cost of the £5 CD goes directly to the charity. You can get your copy from:
