Matt said: “The festival focuses on the light Tom brought to the area, his door, heart and soul were always open. Circumstances threw us together and I was his housemate when he passed. Although much missed I think he'd be content to know he's still bringing joy to folk.”
Tom Marshall was the founder of Morecambe Community Music Melting Pot project and wanted to provide opportunities for anyone who was interested in music to socialise, jam and eventually perform in public.
He died in March 2021 six weeks after being diagnosed with cancer.
