Burnley and Blackburn's website is now live at www.bbstreetpianos.com where you can find a list of all 23 pianos locations. All the pianos will be placed in public locations around the two towns for everyone to play for a period of 3 weeks.

Events and performances can be advertised easily on www.bbstreetpianos.com , and photos, videos and piano

stories can be uploaded by anyone. Spontaneous events are also very welcome! Your event might involve one or

more of the pianos, one or both towns, maybe every single piano at one time..! This is project for you to get creative with and make it your own. How about a triathlon chopsticks challenge? Or a world piano music showcase?? Or if

you are a filmmaker or photographer or poet you might like to record some of the activity at the pianos in your own way and share it on the website.

the time. BBC Radio Lancashire are our official media partner for the event and are planning to do live broadcasts from various

pianos during the 3 weeks. Keep a look out in the papers and listen on the radio for more coverage of Play Me I'm Yours.
