What’s On?
Wythenshawe Monday & Tuesday Sessions
We're really looking forward to the opening of the Wythenshawe Forum Library Creative Space and are pleased to say we have received funding from Manchester City Council's Neighbourhood Investment Fund to run weekly music sessions over a full academic year (3 x 10 week terms) in the space.
Each 1 hour weekly session will allow up to 10 spaces and get the students jamming, learning and making music in a band setting with a professional musician with the opportunity to learn different instruments including drum kit, bass and electric guitar, keyboard and vocals. They will work together as a group, learning popular songs whilst following the GCSE, BTEC and RSL graded syllabus structure. Each group will also be given valuable performance opportunities throughout each term.
Complete beginners are welcome and there are no barriers. These sessions are available to all young people local to Wythenshawe.
Get in touch to register your interest for our Monday & Tuesday 4pm & 5pm sessions.
Stretford Saturday Sessions
Every Saturday, we collaborate with the We Will Rock You Project to host an exciting day of band sessions, running in one-hour blocks from 11 am to 4 pm. Each session features small, focused groups of up to six participants.
These sessions give young people the opportunity to join a band, explore a variety of popular instruments—including electric guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, and vocals—and work on a set list of songs throughout the term. With performance opportunities along the way, participants grow as musicians, develop teamwork skills, and naturally gravitate toward their preferred instruments and roles within the band.
Interested in joining one of our Saturday groups? Get in touch to register your interest, and we’ll contact you as soon as we have a funded space available!
