Music at Myrtle was first held in 1991, had free admission, and featured headline performances by tribute acts and bands from the 1960s and 1970s, such as The Searchers, Alvin Stardust, local band Smokie, Suzi Quatro, Showaddywaddy, Hot Chocolate, Edwin Starr and Boney M. In 1998, it became a two-day event with the addition of The Pulse Party in The Park (external link). Programming for the Party in the Park was by local radio station, Pulse FM and featured contemporary pop acts, such as Rachel Stevens, McFly, Liberty X, Busted and Gareth Gates. In this format, it continued successfully for eight years. In February 2007, it was announced that the event was to be cancelled because of escalating costs, shrinking audiences and a decline in support from the music industry for this type of event.〔Extract from local newspaper (The Telegraph and Argus ) for 21 February 2007.〕 Bradford Council took on the sole responsibility for organising the event giving it a new identity as Bingley Music Live in September that year.〔(The Telegraph and Argus ) 1 September 2008.〕 In 2009 the format was a free family night followed by a ticketed Saturday and Sunday lineup.〔(The Telegraph and Argus ) 10 June 2009.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bingley Music Live」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
