Get It Loud In Libraries
The Get It Loud in Libraries project invites up and coming bands to shatter the usual peace of libraries by performing in them. Mariella is joined by Stewart Parsons from Lancaster Library - who's behind the scheme, and Ben Hudson, lead singer of Mr Hudson and the Library who have recently completely a library tour.
