The free event will take place on 4 July, presented by Professor Nate Holder and featuring YolanDa Brown, Jay Phelps and Annemarie Anang.

Launching this year, the Why Music Festival is offering a free one-day experience aiming to foster book engagement and learning among primary school children. 

Teachers are invited to attend, and will be able to dip in and out of book readings and interviews. 

The event will be hosted by Nate Holder - the joint winner of the Excellence in Primary/Early Years category at the 2023 Music & Drama Education Awards for ‘Listen and Celebrate’, published by Collins Music in collaboration with fellow author Helen MacGregor. Holder has also written the ‘Why Music’ books, which this event is named after.
