Live\u00a0Music\u00a0Now Scotland is proud to present an exciting programme of concerts in partnership with Health All Round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLive Music Now Scotland musicians are used to playing in unusual venues, but this is the first time in the organisation\u2019s history that they have performed on a canal boat!,\u201d says Live Music Now Scotland Director, Carol Main MBE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a\u00a0music\u00a0charity committed to opening up the health and social benefits of live\u00a0music, especially for those who would otherwise not have access to such opportunity, Live\u00a0Music Now Scotland performances prove time after time that\u00a0music\u00a0decreases anxiety, brings positive wellbeing and enhances mood. We are delighted to team up with the Edinburgh community group Health All Round and the barge All Aboard for this new project which not only brings live\u00a0music\u00a0to the canal community but gives fairly paid performing opportunities to the best of Scotland\u2019s up and coming traditional talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvidence shows that people with poorer health, people from areas of economic deprivation and older people, have less opportunity and are less likely to access greenspace than those who do not have health conditions and those who are financially secure,\u201d says Pete McDougall, Go For Green Co-ordinator at Health All Round. \u201cThis partnership with Live Music Now Scotland enables Health All Round to work with people suffering loneliness and social isolation in a new and exciting way which is proving very appealing to our service users.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The community canal boat All Aboard is moored at the Polwarth Pontoon on the Union Canal. The space aims to nurture community cohesion and wellbeing. The custom-built boat was purchased and launched last year by social innovation charity People Know How and Polwarth Parish Church. The barge is intended to serve as a safe space in which to explore the canal, find new experiences and socialise, while surrounded by nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following community concerts will take place on All Aboard over the summer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 1 Aug Megan MacDonald and Calum McIlroy<\/a> \u2013 accordion and guitar duo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 8 Aug Siannie Moodie<\/a> \u2013 clarsach player<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 22 Aug Penny James and Matt Tighe<\/a> \u2013 fiddle duo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 29 Aug Sally Simpson and Catriona Hawksworth<\/a> \u2013 fiddle and piano duo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 19 Sep Roo & Neil<\/a> \u2013 fiddle and accordion duo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
