A free pop-up gig will take place in central Harrogate this week as musician Mike Lovatt takes to the streets

The renowned trumpeter will be accompanied by local brass players to form a marching band through the centre of town.

The event will include his first live performance of Eclipse, written by award-winning composer David Lancaster at the beginning of the covid pandemic.

Dr Lancaster was commissioned by Harrogate International Festivals and wrote the piece in just five days. It premiered online in July 2020, with Mike Lovatt performing a solo.

Now, he will bring the performance to the streets of Harrogate, beginning at the war memorial at 7.45pm on Thursday.

Mr Lovatt, who has performed with artists including Shirley Bassey, Robbie Williams and Tony Bennett, will be premiering his new Brass Pack live at Harrogate Theatre on Friday as part of Harrogate Music Festival.

He will then be hosting free workshops for brass players over the weekend, saying:

“Festivals like this bring communities together."
