FOR this Nostalgia edition we wanted to take a look at how music has influenced people here in Cumbria.

Music is one of many art forms, but is by far one of the most influential.

People across the world enjoy music of all genres and styles performed across a variety of different forms of media.

While scholars agree that music is defined by a small number of specific elements, there is no consensus as to what these necessary elements are.

Music may be performed using a wide variety of musical instruments, including the human voice. It can also be composed, sequenced, or otherwise produced to be indirectly played mechanically or electronically, such as via a music box, barrel organ, or digital audio workstation software on a computer.

These photos show how music has influenced people here in Cumbria. We hope that they bring back some fond memories for some of you.
