Blue Mountains City Council is presenting a weekly series of live streamed music performances.
Love Local Live is council's first ever series of local events that will be brought to the community via live streaming. Each week, the council will showcase local talent and support local businesses and our creative community.
The series will be held every Monday night at 7pm for six weeks, starting on Monday, June 15 with Linda Mizzi.
Mizzi is a songwriter and storyteller from Katoomba, who brings folk music to life with disarmingly honest and quirky lyrics, and infuses her sound with strong undertones of country and blues.
Blue Mountains City is the inaugural NSW City of the Arts. A large part of our workforce is employed in arts, entertainment and creative jobs. Love Local Live is one small way council can support our creative communities, many of whom have been hit particularly hard during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Blue Mountains Mayor Mark Greenhill said: "While restrictions are slowly easing, public gatherings are still limited and we understand many in our community are hesitant to venture out into crowds.
"That's why council is still looking for creative and safe ways to engage with you."
"Council had planned to hold several events across the Mountains as part of our Love Local campaign supporting businesses. But, like for many of you, COVID-19 has meant we've needed to rethink some of our plans.
"Love Local Live is an extension of the Love Local campaign we launched in January," said the mayor.
"It was initially designed to support local businesses and our economy through bushfire recovery, but has also become vital in the wake of COVID-19 and the additional pressures on our arts and creative community as well as the business community.
"The new Love Local Live series will bring a little entertainment to you, wherever you are, while supporting and promoting local businesses and creatives."
