• Are you aged 13-19?
• Are you in a band or do you want to be in a band?
• Do you want to learn more about:
  • performance techniques
  • writing your own material (music and lyrics)
  • sound and recording

Live and Direct is an ongoing workshop and gig support network for young musicians and potential musicians.

• You'll be encouraged to write your own songs starting from the first session
• Professional musicians who perform in their own bands lead the workshops
• You don't have to read music or own your own instrument to take part and there are no auditions.

Gig venues have included The Electric Theatre, the University of Surrey, Ambient Picnic Festival and Euphonic - the youth music festival for Surrey.  Only members of Live and Direct can perform at the gigs, but all are welcome to come along.

If you are interested in taking part, contact the Arts Officer using the details at the bottom of this page.  

Live and Direct is supported by Arts Partnership Surrey, Guildford Borough Council, Rhythmix, the Performing Rights Society, Safer Guildford Partnership, Surrey County Council Local Committee Fund and Youth Music.
