SHEFFIELD BANDS ON THE RUN Whilst thousands are busy limbering up for this year’s Bupa Great Yorkshire Run following August Bank Holiday, musicians will be providing street entertainment to the masses across Sheffield City Centre as runners put their best feet forward. Between 10.30am to 5pm on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 September is the city’s first; ‘Sheffield Bands on the Run’ Festival. ‘Bands on the Run’

is a free city centre event involving 15 bands celebrating all genres of music. During the 2009 Bupa Great Yorkshire Run bands played alongside the 10km course entertaining runners and spectators with live music. This year, the bands are back but bigger and better with a whole weekend programme of live music planned across the city. People visiting the city centre over the weekend can expect

an eclectic soundtrack of jazz, soul, folk and blues as well as Latin and African rhythms; from the solo busker to a full samba band. The bands will be performing in some of the city’s most popular public areas on Saturday 4 September; Tudor Square, Barker’s Pool, Fargate, Winter Garden and the Peace Gardens. Musicians, including well known Sheffield bands’ Bootleggers and Dizzy Club who recently played at Glastonbury,

will take to the main stage in Sheffield Peace Gardens on Sunday 5 September. Cllr Roger Davison, Sheffield City Council Cabinet Member for Culture, Sport, Tourism and City Centre events said: ”This is music to my ears! Sheffield has always been a city that appreciates and promotes music and I am pleased we can put on this free music festival in association with the Bupa Great Yorkshire Run.”
