"The Working Class Life & Music Festival exists to celebrate the lives and stories of ordinary working people. The next festival runs over an incredible NINE days from 22nd April 2011 to 30th April 2011. It tells those stories using a host of cultural means, such as song, music, cinema, theatre, writing, poetry, walking tours, lectures and photography. Originally started in 2008 by Liverpool musician Alun Parry, the Festival is the only annual festival of its kind in Europe. It is organised under the auspices of Great Stories Community Interest Company, a not for profit social enterprise."
