The Music for Youth Regional Festival in Huddersfield is always a special event. It's part of a series of 50 festivals all around the country where around 40000 young people get the chance to play music and sing. The Huddersfield Regional Festival this year took place on March 16 and 17 at Colne Valley High School. There were groups from across Kirklees all supported by the Friends of Musica Colne Valley and Friends of Musica Holme Valley who kept everyone topped up with tea and cake - a big thank you to them all!
