Bands wanted for Rock School 2011

February half term sees the return of Pied Piper's collaboration with Leicester based band Delta Sly, and their extremely successful Rock School.

This project is for young emerging bands, and those who are more established but want some extra help and support on specific areas of their development.

Participants are supported by a 5 piece band of professional gigging musicians, ensuring that there is plenty of opportunity and support within workshops to focus on specific instrumental techniques, develop original material, explore how to develop cover versions of existing songs, band skills - including promotion and ensemble playing, record their original material and have a professionally produced album.

The week finishes with a gig on the Friday night where all the bands who have been involved get an opportunity to perform to a live audience wtih professional lighting rigs and PA systems, giving an authentic gigging experience!

When: Monday 21st - Friday 25th February 2011

Time: 10.30am - 4.30pm daily

Where: Brooklyn Youth Centre, Norton

Gig: 7.00pm Friday 25th February @ Brooklyn Youth Centre
