Music24 was Hot Hot Hot at Luton Carnival 2023

There was sunshine, street food, colour and vibrant music aplenty on Sunday 28th May 2023, and Music24 showed Luton International Carnival just how to 'shake their stuff'!!  We took our voices (and dance moves) to the Open Lea Project and celebrated the new Hat Gardens by entertaining the crowds with our rendition of ‘Hot Hot Hot’.  A short video of our performance can been viewed below.

Representatives from our Luton based Dementia, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities groups, along with staff and volunteers, were excited to be involved in Luton’s biggest cultural event of the year.  Not only did we get the chance to sing, dance and soak up the atmosphere, we also enjoyed chatting to the public about the work we do within our community.  It was a fantastic opportunity to spread the word about our services and showcase who we are, and why we believe making music and being creative is the key to our health and wellbeing.

Music24 works with Mark De-lisser at #LutonSingsQueen

Music24 was lucky enough to be invited to take part in a local project led by Gail from the Big Music Company. The plan was to create a flashmob in the Mall in Luton, singing Queen’s famous ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and Pink’s ‘What About Us’. Over the course of a week, our mental health group, ’Mind Our Music’, took part in learning the songs led by talented choral arranger and vocal coach, Mark De-lisser.

The project involved 85 participants local to Luton, most of which hadn’t met eachother before, let alone sung together. Gail and Mark gave the opportunity for people to learn, sing and perform together.

Teela, Music24’s CEO, states: “We are eternally grateful to Gail for this amazing opportunity to work with Mark De-lisser. It offered the members of our mental health group a wonderful opportunity to engage in something that was really special and it connected with everyone in a deep way. Mark’s approach towards singing for all levels and general ethos resonated with everybody in that room and he built a wonderful ‘team’. It was a truly inspirational experience and it was a pleasure to witness.”
