Living Archive believes that ‘everybody has a story to tell’. For 40 years we have been recording the memories of the inhabitants of the new city of Milton Keynes: the original residents (some of them born in the 19th century); the pioneer settlers who came here in the 1970s, and those who have come since from all corners of the country and all corners of the world to make a new life here. Those memories are collected not to be just stored away in an archive, but to inspire a whole range of creative and educational outcomes that are shared with the community that inspired them, to become a source of community pride and celebration.
The concert features a number of local choirs, groups and performers, including the Living Archive Future Songwriters, a group of talented songwriters in MK who we have brought together in order to tell new stories of the city.
