What they say about True North Music events

We work with some of the finest acoustic musicians in the world – and that’s no exaggeration! Luckily for us, the connections we have made over the years in the bluegrass, old time and Americana music scenes mean that we have a direct line to some of the very best in the business. Here’s some of the great feedback we’ve had from promoters, fans and musicians themselves…

Local live music series, Meltham and Marsden

Never been to a disappointing concert. Always a great atmosphere, friendly people. Didn't feel uncomfortable attending alone.

Sue F, Meltham

Meltham concerts in 2023

Great musicianship, friendly banter in a lovely local setting at the Carlile Institute 

Peter R, Meltham

Local live music series 2023

What can be better than going to a local community venue and enjoying live music that is played with amazing skill, expertise and fun? We've met some great people along the way too, both the musicians themselves and other music lovers in the audience. Saturday evenings in Meltham are certainly very special. Here’s to more!

Bridget C, Honley

Local live music series 2023

I enjoyed all the concerts I went to this year. Great to have live music locally, especially bluegrass and country music

Streaming Across the Sea (dance workshop)

April was great and the workshop was well taught. The steps covered were well thought through as it was possible to do a basic step throughout or develop the more advanced steps if you’re an experienced dancer.  

Gary L, Hexham

Streaming Across the Sea, 4th July concert

Lovely concert, the singing and playing were so skilled and the politics communicated really worthwhile. Very much enjoyed it.    

Linda H, Manchester

March Lockdown Livestream

Roll on the time when live music is back, but for now a HUGE thank you for what you are doing to keep the flame burning!           

Jim G, Huddersfield

Fall into Autumn virtual festival workshops

Workshops were long enough to cover plenty without being too long to concentrate. Good array of different areas covered between the three workshops, and great artists running them all very professionally with lots of audience input for what they would like from the time and Q&As.

Abbey T, Cornwall

Maria has a genuine passion for contemporary and traditional folk/roots and Americana music and an excellent ear for rising talent. She combines these skills with her extensive experience in marketing, enabling True North Music to deliver outstanding live music to local communities in rural Yorkshire.

Jaywalkers, Huddersfield concert

Thanks so much for putting us on at the LBT last night! We had a great time and it was a testament to all of your hard work over the last few months that the room was full and the gig was a success! I wish all gig promoters were as active, passionate and communicative as you were ... great job  

Mike Giverin, Jaywalkers (artist)

One of the best nights ever! Please keep us in mind when they return.

The Slocan Ramblers

The Slocan Ramblers were totally epic. They really whipped up an incredible atmosphere and the crowd went crazy for them. So many happy faces at the end of the evening!
