We're thrilled to invite you to be a part of Margate Songbook: Echos of England, a community-driven project aimed at celebrating England through music. This initiative, generously funded by the Arts Council, is hosted by Rosslyn Court, the best folk venue in Margate.
At a time when the image of England needs a boost, we aim to bring the community together through the universal language of music. We want to hear your song, the one that makes you think of England in the most positive light.
Our team will be in various public spaces in Cliftonville and Margate, to interview you and collect your chosen song. It's as simple as sharing a tune and a story. Your song could become a part of our musical celebration.
View the 2024 GalleryI know we are all fed up with feedback requests, but it would really help us to understand the impact of this project if you could please scan this QR code and answer a couple of evaluation questions.
It won't take long, honestly - it will be very useful and much appreciated.

Your song submissions will be transformed into a series of four captivating concerts in and around Rosslyn Court, featuring local musicians who will bring your melodies to life. These concerts will be a joyful reflection of the diversity and positivity that England embodies.
Together, we can reshape the narrative about England and create a harmonious and uplifting experience for our community. Let's celebrate the beauty of our home through music!
Follow us on social media for updates, and keep your eyes and ears open for announcements of our concerts.
Let's make Margate's music resonate with the spirit of England!
