EMU – Elmsbrook Musicians Union

Who are we and what do we do?

Elmsbrook has a scattering of musicians of all kinds: the aims of EMU are threefold: (1) to bring any and all musicians and music fans on Elmsbrook together; (2) to hold a variety of live music events on Elmsbrook, for the enjoyment of all; (3) to raise a bit of money here and there for worthwhile causes – currently, these are: aid to Ukraine, and funds for ECO.

What events do we do, and have we done?

We aim to do around 5-6 live music events per year.  The most recent past events have been:

15 March 2024 – Live Music Night, raising funds for Ukraine and ECO: acoustic sets and band.

17 December 2023 – Live ‘Acoustic Circle’ (following the Carols walk around)
