When
18 April - 26 June 2024 (6-8pm)
Where
Contact, Manchester
Sign up

Reverb is for you if you want to:

  • Meet and collaborate with other musicians your age
  • Develop skills in collaborative songwriting, or playing in a band
  • Create new music, or develop some of your own ideas
  • Perform live on stage

We'll support you to develop ideas and skills in a friendly, collaborative and supportive space.

Each session is led by your interests. Tell us what you want to do and we’ll get you set up.

We have instruments and equipment available for you to use, or feel free to bring your own.

There’ll be opportunities to perform, but there’s no pressure. If you’d rather stick to working on tunes, and maybe recording some, that’s cool.

When and where

Thursdays, 6-8pm, on the following dates:

  • 18, 25 April
  • 2, 9, 16 May
  • 6, 13, 20 June

We'd love you to come to all sessions, but it's ok if you can’t make every date.

The project will take place at Contact, Oxford Road, Manchester, M15 6JA. Visit Contact’s website for more information on how to get there.

The gig will take place on Wednesday 26 June. We’ll confirm the time and venue as soon as possible.

Costs

Reverb is free to take part. 

To help you get to and from the sessions, we can cover your travel costs on public transport.

Fancy it?

Sign up using our Google Form.

If you're under 16, you'll need to ask a parent, carer or guardian for their consent.

If you'd prefer, the form can be completed over the phone.

Safer Spaces and Safeguarding

We aim to create spaces that are welcoming, engaging and supportive. Spaces where everyone is able to be themselves, and where abuse and discrimination are not tolerated.

Read our Safer Spaces Policy for more information.

Our approach to Safeguarding is the foundation of our Safer Spaces approach. By Safeguarding we mean the wellbeing, and protection from harm, abuse and mistreatment of anyone who benefits from our work, team members and others we come into contact with. Anyone who is part of our team has appropriate safeguarding knowledge and an understanding of how to deal with safeguarding issues should they arise.

Read our Safeguarding Policy for more information.
