About Music in Hertfordshire
Hertfordshire’s musical heritage is vast and varied! From George Michael and Wham!, Cliff Richard, two Spice Girls (Posh & Ginger), and the multi-award winning lyricist Sir Tim Rice, to folk guitarist and MBE Martin Carthy, classic rockers Deep Purple, contemporary electronic dance music band Enter Shikari and modern folk trio The Staves, musical output from Herts is eclectic to say the least! Not to mention celebrated drum and bass producers LTJ Bukem and Photek, indie pop band Friendly Fires, garage rock band The Subways and harcore band Gallows! There’s just too many to mention!
Its musical diversity is echoed in Hertfordshire's music festival offering which includes Slam Dunk - the UK’s biggest independent rock festival, Folk By The Oak - A festival of folk's finest acts gathered in beautiful leafy parkland, Standon Calling - An independent boutique music and arts festival with big acts, emerging talent and much more, Wilkestock Charity Music Festival - probably the best festival you've never heard of, and Hertford Music Festival - an annual celebration of local live music.
Hertfordshire is also home to Britain’s oldest specialist music school, The Purcell School for young musicians.
