For anyone else it would have been a tall order. Organise a 16-hour music festival in just one week?
But Ellen Cole rose to the challenge. As the creative force behind York’s Little Festival of Live Music, she has the nous and the contacts book to put together a cracking Easter line-up.
Called Buskathon!, the music fest is timed to run alongside the first York Easter Festival.
Buskathon! will take place from 11am-3pm each day between Good Friday, March 25 to Easter Monday, March 28 on Parliament Street. Admission is free.
Ellen said:
Don’t get me wrong, I spent the rest of the day panicking and didn’t get to sleep that night, but I am incredibly passionate about events management and am keen to show what you can achieve when you put your mind to something.
