Our 10th Anniversary Celebration - Who's Coming?

Ten years ago, we embarked on a mission to change lives through music.  We are so proud of what we have achieved in a decade.  Our work is now reaching more people every day throughout Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire and we look forward to many more years of making life-changing music with incredible people.

We desperately wanted to mark our 10th Anniversary with something special.  On Saturday 29th June, at Venue 360 in Luton, we will be hosting an evening of celebration for our service users, their carers, our staff, volunteers and trustees.  The event will see many people from the Music24 community across Beds and Herts coming together to enjoy good company and to celebrate the last decade with speeches, delicious food, a raffle and, of course, live music and a DJ to provide an opportunity to celebrate in true style and party the night away.

Due to the support of our incredible sponsors, we have been able to offer all of our guests a subsidised ticket fee. Tickets are available for purchase online now or in person at one of our sessions

If you would like to attend, please contact the Office at info@music24.org.uk or here and we will send you the private link to our secure ticket provider and more information. 

Alternatively, ask a member of the team in person at your next session. 

The deadline for ticket purchases is 10th June 2024.

Celebrate With Us - It's Music24's 10th Anniversary!

Way back in April 2014, Music24 arrived with a strum, a beat and a small handful of harmonious voices.  Before long, our vision for a world where everyone can be a musician was realised.

Our mission to change lives through music became a reality and the ‘Music24 Family’ started to grow.  From the very first sessions, made possible by a small number of local funding pots, to the support we now receive from major national funding institutions such as Arts Council England and The National Lottery Community Fund, we have been going from strength to strength over the last ten years - honing our skills, building our team, finding our niche and discovering our uniqueness... even a pandemic couldn’t hold us back! 

We are so proud of what we have achieved since our early days back in 2014.  Our work is now reaching more and more people every day and they benefit hugely from the opportunities we provide throughout Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.  With ambitious hearts and a few new songs in the pipeline, we are thrilled to be celebrating our 10th Anniversary this year and are ready to take on the next ten years!

We would like to thank EVERYONE that has shown their love and support to us throughout the years.  Especially our funders, donors, trustees, staff and volunteers for helping us to deliver life-changing music;, it would not be possible without all of you!

The BIGGEST Thank you’s go to our incredibly amazing service users. You are the glorious, courageous and admirable people that we have the immense pleasure of making music with every day. You help us to create the musical landscape from which we all feel connection and acceptance. Your willingness to try and creative fearlessness is second to none. Thank you for your love, trust, openness and for letting us in. The connection through music is what crafts the wonderful ‘space’ to which we all belong and it’s the reason Music24 exists at all. We are so lucky to have music and share it in the way we do!

Cheers to a decade of Making Music Matter!  We look forward to everything that the next ten years will bring and we hope it will be just as exciting, if not more!

- Teela & Graeme, Co-Founders of Music24
