Hundreds of local musicians and singers of all levels and backgrounds will join the BBC Philharmonic for a huge and joyful musical celebration which will open the main stage on both days of We Invented The Weekend, a brand new festival coming to MediaCity and Salford Quays.
Michael Betteridge (Artistic Director of The Sunday Boys – Manchester’s LBTQ+ low voice choir) will conduct the concert and has also written Docks Unlocked, a special song based on an original poem by Salfordian Poet, Lynn Walton, celebrating the history of Salford Docks.
Hankies at the ready for what is set to be a heartening performance which will end in a rousing rendition of Docks Unlocked led by BBC Folk Singer of the Year and Honeyfeet vocalist, Rioghnach Connolly.
