After four annua l events\, organisers took a break to review and develop ATBT\, deliverin g two larger and well received events in 2014 and 2015\, with Arts Council support.\n\nThe event grew and diversified from a small music festival  into a large multi-arts event – a respected and well attended fixture o n the festival calendar\, with increased attendance\, partners\, arts\, cr afts\, talks and more\, as well as a rich musical programme at its core. A TBT's educational programme also grew as young people from Merseyside wer e given opportunities to lean how to produce a live music event through wo rk placements in areas such as marketing\, event management and technical support.\n\nThe founders of ATBT have decided that now is the right time to give the festival the Liverpool send-off it deserves. In a statement\ , they said:\n\n"Given the changing nature of Liverpool’s festival calen dar\, notably with the arrival of Liverpool International Music Festival\, from a programming standpoint the ATBT event is not needed in the way it was so crucially back in 2008. With the rising prominence of Threshold Fes tival\, LIMF\, and the LIMF Academy\, we have effectively achieved what we set out to in respect of the festival.\n\nAs such\, we feel it would be f itting to celebrate with a final event\, as well as offering one last opp ortunity for those previously involved to reconnect."\n\nThe daytime event on 28th January will be followed by a free entry gig featuringAbove The Beaten Track alumni\, with live music and DJs. In the same vein as ATBT\, it will also be an opportunity for a group of young people to experience producing a live event through the specially tailored work placements.\n \n"ATBT is unquestionably one of the city’s most enjoyable\, and reassur ing displays of the sort of inventive\, thrilling creativity you only get from the ground up" - Seven Streets ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2017/01/unnamed-8.jpg LOCATION:Bluecoat\, School Lane\, Liverpool\, L1 3BX\, Liverpool\, United K ingdom GEO:53.404542;-2.984173 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=School Lane\, Liverpool\, L 1 3BX\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Bluecoat:geo :53.404542,-2.984173 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20161030T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
