Huddersfield On Tour
Love Music Hate Racism at Northern Quarter 2024
On Thursday 4th July’s election day, Love Music Hate Racism (LMHR) hosted a free entry event at the charming music venue, Northern Quarter on Wood Street, Huddersfield, for the ‘Stop the Hate Tour’. They were raising awareness and funds for LoveMusic HateRacism and Immigration & Asylum Support Kirklees, (I-ASK).
LMHR uses the energy and vibrancy of the music scene to promote unity and celebrate diversity through education and events. Our message is simple, there is more that unites us than divides us; and nothing demonstrates this more than music.
As well as a range of fantastic local Musicians, there were also Guest Speakers, Live Graffart, and I-ASK were selling raffle tickets for an array of fantastic prizes, including the art that was created on the night by artist, Oliver Lancaster.

LMHR had a great turnout and I-ASK raised several hundred pounds to fund their future activities.
Huddersfield is such a multi-cultural town so events like this are incredibly important for inclusivity and awareness-raising. Here in Huddersfield, we say, “You are welcome” so let’s make it a place of sanctuary for all.
