Plan B to the Crookes - Rugby Library rocks
Sheffield four-piece the Crookes and singer/songwriter Alan Pownall are the latest acts to be appearing at Rugby Library on Monday 4 October at 8pm, as part of the ongoing Get it Loud in Libraries programme.
The Crookes and Alan Pownall follow hard on the heels of a sell-out performance by Plan B at Rugby Library in March.
“We are really excited to get two popular artists bands so soon,” said Paul MacDermott, Audience Development Manager for Warwickshire Libraries. “I’m sure that’s because the Plan B event was so successful. Rugby Library works really well as a live music venue and the staff there are fantastic - so enthusiastic.”
Tickets for the Crookes and Alan Pownall on 4 October cost £6.50, and are available from: http://www.seetickets.com, and from Rugby Library.
The brainchild of Stewart Parsons of Lancashire Libraries, the Get it Loud in Libraries project proved so popular it won national support from the MLA (Museums, Libraries and Archives) and is being rolled out across the country.
Brit Award winners Florence and The Machine and Adele as well as Bat For
Lashes and Juliette Lewis have played in local libraries since Get it Loud was
launched in 2005.
Get it Loud in Libraries aims to get young people (14 to 25) - who are the lowest users of libraries - through the doors via their love of music. Stewart explained: "The aim is to present the best of pop culture and new music in the traditional library setting, months before many of the acts break through, and also allow young people a great, often ‘first time’ time in a library."
This event has the added attraction of a BOOK SWAP with all fans being asked to come to shows armed with their favourite books to share, recommend, swap etc.
