XLR is a six month music project offering amazing opportunities to create original, inspiring music alongside KWMC and some of Bristol’s finest music institutions. With opportunities to perform, record, develop skills and confidence and create long lasting relations with other musicians, these sessions build on the successful XLR Festival that was established in 2010.
Working with 13 – 19 year olds city-wide who have an existing interest or experience in music, XLR will help to develop creative ideas far beyond making music. From promotion to graphics, networking, performance skills and more, the musicians involved will have the opportunity to return after six months to mentor the new groups, and develop long lasting links within the local community and music scene.
Sessions take place every Tuesday during term-time, from 6-8pm. Spanning every genre, the project will evolve with the young people’s tastes and interests, finding masterclass leaders, and performances that are best suited to the musicians’ needs. With projects being developed for online platforms including Bandcamp and Soundcloud, in addition to social media sites including YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and more, the artists will gain exposure through regular promotion.
There are limited places, so if you’re interested in being part of the XLR sessions at KWMC, please contact enquiries@kwmc.org.uk or call 0117 903 0444. For more information visit the project page.
