About Music in Lancashire
The far-reaching county of Lancashire has a long heritage of music and entertainment, from the innocent days of Rochdale lass Dame Gracie Fields, right up to the folk-rock of Steph Fraser, the art-pop of Rae Morris and soul-pop of Charlotte OC, and tenor Alfie Boe. Lancashire is full of X’s too – music producer Richard X is from Whalley, X-factor semi-finalist Diana Vickers comes from Blackburn, and Liberty X singer, turned lead singer for Wet Wet Wet, Kevin Simm hails from Chorley.
Lancs is home to a wide range of music venues – from Blackpool’s Winter Gardens Opera House, and Blackburn’s King George’s Hall, to UCLan’s 53 Degrees in Preston, and Sanctuary Rock Bar in Burnley. The county hosts plenty of great music festivals too, including the award-winning Lancaster Music Festival, the Ribble Valley Jazz & Blues Festival, The Beat-Herder Festival – which bills itself as “an orgy of beats and barminess” – and the family-friendly Cloudspotting Music & Arts Festival at Gisburn Forest.
