Live n Loud is back
Published on 01 July 2019
One of the region’s most popular youth music events, Live n Loud is now in its 13th year and it’s back bigger and better than ever, with the latest event coming to Taree Library on Friday 5 July from 6pm to 9pm.
The library will be transformed into an after-hours live music venue for local young people to enjoy, and the event presents a great opportunity to celebrate the end of the school term.
As always, some of the region’s most popular young musicians will be able to showcase their talent, in a safe, fun, drug and alcohol free event.
“Live n Loud is one of our favourite, longest running local events, supporting our young people,” explained Russell Ingram, MidCoast Council’s Community Strengthening Officer, Youth.
“While it has grown in popularity and continued to evolve over the years, it’s a crowd favourite for local young people attending but it’s also a great experience for our young organising committee and performers who gain valuable experience in event management and stage performance.”
The Manning Youth Action Team (MYAT) plan and execute every detail of the event, including securing the artists for the night and all pre-promotion via social media channels.
Live n Loud events are a quarterly fixture on the local calendar. Some of the acts for this latest Live n Loud include Hudson Rose, NerV and Dime Junkie and there will also be an Open Mic segment but places are limited and sign-up will take place on the night.
“Our region is rich with talented young people and we love that Live n Loud gives them a stage to really showcase what they can do. It’s the perfect starting point for music careers or just a great way to indulge their love of music,” Russell said.
The event isn’t just for young people, people of all ages can attend for just a gold coin donation.
Live n Loud is a fully supervised, event, made possible through the support of the NSW Government’s Indent program, part of Music NSW, together with YMCA and MidCoast Council Libraries.
