Open meeting for Youth Music Forum

Orkney Youth Music Forum is holding an open meeting tomorrow, Sunday, February 19.

Everyone involved with or having an interest in musical activities for young people is invited to attend.

Glenys Hughes, chairwoman of OYMF said: “A wealth of musical activities of all genres is available to young people in Orkney. I hope that OYMF can continue to support these activities by developing its role in providing a discussion forum where people can learn about opportunities, both local and national, and explore possibilities for collaboration.

“So this open meeting is intended as a step towards raising the profile of the Forum. The committee hopes that a wide range of individuals, representatives of organisations and young people themselves will come along, give us their ideas on the most productive way forward for the Forum, and, hopefully, join up as members.”

The meeting takes place at 3pm, on Sunday, in the King Street Halls, Kirkwall. The event will include refreshments and musical entertainment by Broken Strings and other young musicians who have recently taken part in Glasgow’s Celtic Connections.
