Since 2005, Get It Loud In Libraries has been programming high quality, live music events in libraries in towns and cities throughout the UK. We consistently demonstrate a unique talent for identifying new and emerging artists on the cusp of breaking through to the mainstream.
Our programme is delivered in geographic areas that are generally outside the major metropolitan centres, with low live music provision - especially for young people and families. Incorporated into our work is the GILIL Academy which supports young people’s participation and talent development in creative and cultural activities. Through doing this, the programme seeks to challenge and change perceptions of libraries and to engage new audiences, particularly young people in using these unique and valuable community assets.

my brother is a big fan he really wants to meet him my dad served him food in london and he got jealous.

[@johnnys-left-earring]

it sounds like cherub rock by smashing pumpkins at the start and end of the video

[@cianhalley9266]

What a song that was/is

[@jamesshields6721]

sounds romantic alright...but they met in rock band class...? college is in the liberties.

[@Jamesp1972]

Haha nice for the other guys in the band to hear the 'singer' thinks the idea of it being a band is strange

[@getitloudinlibraries9809]

Comforting, I'm sure... 😂

[@End-Result]

If that's the main thing you're taking away from this interview then you're a bit of a numbskull

[@1yearago491]

He doesn't belong to anyone

[@angelariley.9963]

That's not what he's trying to convey at all. He said that fame may come and go but their friendship won't.

[@SmoothOutcomes]

@@1yearago491 he should write a song about that
