This summer Grassington Festival worked with Hope and Social and the good people of Grassington on a fabulous project: A Band Anyone Can Join. In the weeks running up to the Festival people from Grassington groups including the Devonshire Divas, the Pantaloons, Pilots and Reverb learned to play in a band. A Band Anyone Can Join performed in the Town Hall on the opening weekend of the Festival. It was one of the most positive and enriching projects we’ve ever worked on. If you were there that night, we hope you enjoyed it as much as well as we all did. And if you weren’t, we hope you will enjoy this recording of that very special performance on Saturday 15th June 2013.
