Summary
- Lancaster Music Co-op faces a crucial period for reopening.
- A new compilation features donated tracks from local artists.
- The facility was declared unsafe and shut down in 2021.
Hope is building for the reopening of Lancaster Music Co-op (LMC), a cherished community music project. Campaigners announced they are nearing their goal, thanks to a special fundraising initiative. LMC, a non-profit rehearsal and recording studio established in 1985, served north Lancashire's music scene for decades.
The facility's Lodge Street building was declared unsafe and subsequently closed its doors in 2021, halting operations. This closure deeply impacted the local music community, which had seen notable artists like Tom English and Mark Hunter utilize its services.
In a significant push to secure funding for major repairs, the cooperative has released a compilation album. This release showcases donated tracks from various local artists, rallying community support to reopen the beloved music project.
