Make Music Day is a free celebration of music around the world on June 21st. Launched in 1982 in France as the Fête de la Musique, it is now held on the same day in more than 1,000 cities in 120 countries. Completely different from a typical music festival, Make Music Day is open to anyone who wants to take part be it playing, listening or performing. In towns & cities across the world every kind of musician — young and old, amateur and professional, of every musical persuasion — pours onto streets, parks, plazas, and porches to share their music with friends, neighbours, and strangers.

To celebrate the day Hot Box Live & the Essex Music Development Agency will be bringing you some free music performances in the city centre between Noon – 2pm.  So If you are a singer or singer/songwriter and would like to perform then email tony@emda.uk or send a video we will post online on the day.
