ALL we need is music!Players took to York's streets for what has been billed as the city's biggest-ever celebration of music, and will form part of the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations and BBC Music Live.

York Live Music Festival will incorporate local BBC Music Live entertainment as well as the J Nights Jazz Festival and local community events, with a music-for-all approach over a fortnight in the run-up to the main jubilee celebrations on Bank Holiday Monday, June 3.

Details were unveiled at a "taster" session for the series of events in Parliament Street.

Ron Burnett and members of his Mardis Gras band, Chris Johnson from Hazzard County, and Ian Donaghy from Huge turned up for a jamming session.

Council arts officer Wesley Zepherin is pulling together two weekends of events between Thursday, May 23, and Sunday, May 26, and Saturday, June 1 and Jubilee Bank Holiday Monday.
