The group which promotes creative music making in local schools and communities, will use the grant to form a band of amateur musicians from the Derry City area to create and perform their own music. The band, which will involve people of all types of ability, will make a series of performances during the UK City of Culture year, culminating in the 'Once in a Blue Moon' public concert in August 2013, one of the rare nights when a blue moon appears in the night sky.
