The event at Granary Square over the weekend was really exciting and busy.\u00a0 We received a fantastic response from a large crowd on both days.\u00a0 Lots of families came along to the event and it was great to see all the children dancing to the music.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, for the first time,\u00a0we played the new composition ‘Clay Cargo’ created by The Dead Rat Orchestra (Daniel Merrill and Nathaniel Mann).\u00a0 This was composed especially for the Melodians to play at\u00a0this event and is based on a traditional tune created when the canals were first built to carry pottery from Stoke on Trent down to London.\u00a0 ‘Clay Cargo’ was played 4 times over the 2 days.<\/p>\n

Here are a few photos from the day.<\/p>\n
