The music is played - and played loud in order to try and create a vibrant atmosphere and a jovial sense of good old fashioned get together, town folks enjoying market trading and a general supporting of their local area. However that`s just the problem - it`s old fashioned and run down and not a patch on years gone by and you can`t simply play loud music like on a fairground and expect everyone to suddenly change 50 years forward - back to the Accy good old days when there was a real buzz about the place - it`s gone. Yes some of the buildings are real class Victorian architecture but they`ve been there for 150 years - it`s most of everything else that`s deteriorated - like many once great places to visit - no more. No disrespect to other needy / deserving people on our planet - charity begins at home in my book and by God do we need it - we are getting more and more like a third World Country looking around the place - and the modern day Accrington in my opinion - is a good example - it`s run down and Miserable

I have not visited the Sunday one but the ones on Thursday are well attended with a good variety of stalls. Hope this helsps.
