Street Music 2017

Street Music came back, for a second year, bringing great, live music by local artists to the heart of Poole!

Many thanks to:

All the performers who gave their services for free
To Poole BID for the use of the stages and PA
To Bournemouth University for their support
To all the shoppers and visitors who donated money via the buckets, or who bought raffle tickets.

You helped us raise just over £700 for Routes to Roots

Not did you enjoy some great foot-tapping music, you've also helped us with an amazing launch for the Club's project to raise money for the Poole-based charity helping the homeless - Routes to Roots.
