Katy Bradley, Artist Director of the Lunchtime Recital, said: “The series was initially set up not only to bring in experienced professionals but to give emerging artists an opportunity to perform in an established series.

“More recently we have been honoured to welcome Ben Jarvis, a trumpeter due to read music performance at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester this September, and this July we are looking forward to a music theatre recital from Rachel Cooper, a more local rising talent set to study at ALRA North this September.

“The standard of performance we see from the younger performers is truly astonishing.”

The recital will include feel-good dancing tunes, audience participation, step dancing, Quebecois foot-percussion and humour.

Taking audiences on a musical journey around the world, the English instrumental duo, made up of Sam Pirt and Gary Hammond, have firmly established themselves on the UK folk scene today.

Acclaimed duo Ian Bailey and Tim Chu will perform their Celebration of American folk rock duo, Simon and Garfunkel, on Thursday 5 April.

They will deliver the music of Simon and Garfunkel in their own unique way that honours the original recordings.

Future performers include also Chameleon Quintet, a wind Quintet made up of students currently at the Royal Northern College of Music.

Sid Calderbank, well known for his depth of knowledge on Victorian Lancashire dialect poems and songs, will also perform.
