Series of live performances to return to Hereford City Centre

A series of live performances will become a regular Saturday staple with the launch of an exciting new enterprise designed to help Hereford expand its reputation for musical and cultural excellence. 

“City Life Presents” is the new live performance initiative from Hereford City Life that will see music, theatre, crafts and lots more. Working with local acts, groups, creatives and well-known entertainment providers, the Hereford City Life team will be hosting pop-up performances twice a month in the city centre.

The first City Life Presents event will be held in the Centre of High Town on 14th May 2022, between 10:30 and 15:00, with performances from Band for Hire and Anya Pailthorpe.

Anya Pailthorpe is a local singer songwriter who has masterfully blended notes from folk, pop and jazz to create her own unique style. “Anya’s voice holds something delicate in it, something that is weirdly comforting to listen to, with vocals sung with utmost care”– Songdew.

Band For Hire are an up-and-coming cover band local to Hereford; think Arcade Fire and Kings of Leon. Band For Hire have played on our stage in Hereford before and they always bring intensity and raw energy. 

“The introduction of City Life Presents will provide a much-needed boost to the city centre on Saturdays,” said Ben Turner, owner of Hereford Music Shop and board member of Hereford BID. Continuing, he added, “It is great that we have the opportunity to work with local musicians to brighten weekends in Hereford”.

Further City Life Presents performances are scheduled for 28th May, 11th June and 25th June 2022.
