Summer Strum would have been celebrating its 6th and last year at Hoylake Rugby Club this July. We were set to have a final party to end all parties to show how grateful we are for your continuing support over the years - all musicians & their families and friends, everyone who volunteers, our audience & local community, stallholders, and especially Jack and Sue from the Rugby Club - you have all made Summer Strum something really special.

 

And then along came Covid-19 ...

 

and, like so many other community event organisers, we have had to take the decision to cancel the festival.

 

BUT ... every cloud has a silver lining and we are excited to annouce that the Summer Strum Team are planning to take the festival online! Using the power of technology - Facebook Live & watch parties and Youtube - we will be featuring performances from some of yours and our favourite acts from the Summer Strum over the years. We will be hosting jam sessions & open mic via Zoom, hopefully a workshop or two and some yoga, poetry with Alison Schultz and storytelling with Andy Johnson. Planning is underway and we will make announcements as they materialise. Keep on top of all the news here and on our Facebook page: summerstrumhoylake.
