Tickets On Sale Friday 20th June at 12pm Gig School is an exciting opportunity for young people to play, rehearse and perform in a band setting. Young musicians taking part will learn how to communicate with each other as a band, learn about live music rehearsal, set-up and soundcheck, and performance techniques. They’ll perform in large bands, as well as getting the chance to form ‘breakaway bands’ during the week. The sessions are led by a team of 4 experienced tutors specialising in guitar, bass, keys, drums and vocals. This activity is open to young people aged 12-17 and we advise that young people playing guitar, bass, keys, and drums have some experience (beginner level to advanced) on their instruments. Singers of all abilities are welcome. HOW TO BOOK Places are limited by a set capacity per instrument and will be offered on a first come, first served basis once booking opens. Once instrument spaces are filled, we will be unable to accept further bookings. Places must be booked in advance – please do not show up on the day without a booking. Full bursaries are available for those facing financial barriers and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Please contact us on [email protected] to apply for a free place.
