Making a Difference...

How LMNS is providing music and opportunities for people across Scotland.

The PRISMA/LMNS sharing session was an exciting exploration of how music from different cultures combines while providing a space to reflect upon the wonderful adventure the musicians had been on together - and share some of the stories with other members of the LMNS community.

As part of a Creative Scotland Youth Music Initiative, LMNS worked with five local authorities to reach over 1,000 children and young people across Scotland.

Live Music Now Scotland celebrates its 40th Anniversary in 2024/25. “We wanted to celebrate in areas across Scotland, in settings which mean so much to us. These places are where the impact happens", says LMNS Director Carol Main.

A collaboration between Live Music Now Scotland and PRISMA resulted in a Mexico residency for LMNS traditional fiddler Roo Geddes.

We'd Love to Hear from You!

We are always happy to discuss new projects, opportunities or ways that we can help make music happen in your venue or community.
