Welcome
A journey through music in response to the Morecambe Bay tragedy of February 2004.
23 lives lost to the sea.
23 Chinese immigrant workers tragically lost their lives whilst cockling at night in Morecambe Bay. A heart-rending tragedy that caused shock-waves around the UK and raised critical awareness of issues concerning migrant workers and their human rights.
In March 2007 More Music initiated The Long Walk; a unique response to the catastrophe through an ambitious international project in music and culture involving hundreds of people of all ages from Northern England and China.
The project involves acclaimed composers, musicians, writers and lens- based artists working with community groups towards a massed community orchestra in acknowledgement of a shared humanity.
In March and April 2008 The Long Walk went to Liverpool and Gateshead with performances that again involved hundreds of participants in beautiful and inspiring music. In November 2008 the project starts in HONG KONG with performances coming up on March 27 and 28th 2009.
