Two of Harrogate’s finest musicians are appearing in a double bill this week to celebrate the launch of new Musical Empowerment Workshops in the town.

DJ Rory Hoy and singer-songwriter Rufus Beckett may be different in style but, as audiences will see at at St Roberts Club in Harrogate on Friday, June 30, they share similar high standards in music.

Starting at 7pm, the event will include a set by Hoy; the Knaresborough-based award-winning DJ/producer/music author, and, also, by Beckett, the talented singer and songwriter, one half of popular acoustic duo The Paper Waits.

The event marks Beckett’s involvement in a new music and performance workshop called 'Musical Empowerment' run by Empowered Living.

The aim is to work with and accept neurodiversity in a positive, inclusive and supportive way to increase confidence and wellbeing, making music accessible to all abilities.

As befits a celebration, entry on Friday will be free.
