M@HoT was established in 2011 to research and revive the lost folk music and dance traditions of the Durham Dales, unearthing over 250 tunes, songs and dances that highlights the wealth of our regional cultural heritage. Through their dedicated work with young people in SW Durham, M@HoT have brought new life into the music they share - establishing 3 youth folk bands, encouraging young people’s potential to explore their heritage, develop a sense of place and ideas of home through access to music making opportunities. M@HoT also creates opportunities for artists and community groups to co-create work together, delivering artists commissions and partnership work with cultural institutions, heritage sites and local schools; and hosting a wide range of public concerts, ceilidhs and music masterclasses suitable for all ages and stages.
