AMATEUR and professional musicians joined forces at the weekend as part of a family music event.
Throughout Saturday and Sunday there were music workshops and concerts, including a performance by Amicus, a group of special needs children, who have all learnt to play instruments.
Activities included making instruments from junk items, choral performances, songs from the shows, karaoke and gum boot dancing.
The event at Darlington Arts Centre was organised by Making Music, a national organisation dedicated to getting more people involved in music, The National Foundation for Youth Music, and the Carnegie Trust, which aims to interest children in music.
