!!!NEWS!!!
The Basement is now running free open access sessions again.These sessions are for young people at all levels of music interest and experience. There are two areas:
Live music – with drum kit, bass, electric or acoustic guitars, keyboard and mics; Urban music – with music tech, DJing and MCing.
There are 3x 40 min slots in each area every session.
Each area is run by a tutor who will talk to you about what you want to do - and help you do it.
There are also youth workers who can help you get info and advice on anything you need to know about and are generally up for a chat. They can also help you get certificates such as National Youth Achievement Awards or Arts Awards – either for the music you make or for other projects.

The Basement Studio is a Bristol-wide
youth work and music charity for 13-19 year olds, targeting those who find
it difficult to access music resources, equipment and support - the place
Roni Size called 'school'. We offer free live music, music technology, vocal
and DJ/MCing with experienced music tutors and gear via twice-weekly open
access sessions, plus free music technology or radio courses starting at basic
level using Cool Edit Pro, Cubase VST and Reason. Can record music demos and
help with performance skills etc. Also run a range of outreach and special
projects, from young people's stages at festivals to creating film soundtracks
and jam sessions. We work in partnership with other organisations, including
Bristol City Council Youth and Arts services. We also run outreach sessions
on request across the city and offer advice and info to other youth groups.
Young People at the Basement have been involved in producing a radio show called B-Sides to showcase new music, vox pops and interviews.
