For the last 9 years, Mat Clements (Where’s the One?) and Marcus Britton (Oi Musica) have created an annual Galoshans Street band out of local P6 and P7 classes, this year from St. Francis and Newark Primary Schools in Port Glasgow. The project is supported by Inverclyde’s Youth Music Initiative, and the pupils have done brilliantly – performing after just 8 weekly music classes. They will be parading together for the very first time, so come and give them a cheer! Featuring guest musicians and kind support from school staff.
Where’s the One? and Oi Musica are community music organisations working to broaden and deepen young people’s involvement in music. Through school and youth projects and performances they involve thousands of young people in music-making each year, often for the first time.

This project is supported by the Scottish Government’s Youth Music Initiative (YMI) programme which aims to create access to high-quality music-making opportunities for children and young people, particularly for those that would not normally have the chance to participate.
