GO MULTIPLATINUM WITH US
Is it possible to learn an instrument, write songs and record an album in under a week? At the end of April we find out as we invite young people (that aren’t in education, employment or training) to NOMA to make a racket with Irene Taylor Trust in their project Making Tracks. If you've ever watched Paul McCartney on stage and thought “yeah, I could do that” this is the project for you!  What is it? We are facilitating a free music project with Irene Taylor Trust called Making Tracks from the 28th April to the 2nd of May at NOMA for young people in Manchester. The project will involve collaborating over 5 days to create original music, which will be showcased to a live audience on the Friday.  It’s a project for young people aged 18-25 who are not in Employment, Education or Training. No instrument or singing experience is required – just a love of music!  There will be a taster day on Wednesday 23rd April, at Altogether Otherwise for the young people to visit the venue and get a sense of the project.    Know somebody that should be involved? Here is the sign up form.
