A group of four young musicians practices together in a colorful room with red, yellow, and green walls. On the left, a girl wearing a purple New York Yankees cap and grey hoodie plays an electric guitar. In the center, a girl in white clothes sings into a microphone. Behind her, a boy plays a red drum set. On the right, another girl in a striped long-sleeve shirt and jeans plays a bass guitar. They are surrounded by music posters and equipment, creating a vibrant and energetic rehearsal atmosphere.

It’s first-come, first serve with limited spaces. Booking opens 30 minutes beforehand. Arrive by the start time latest to sign in. Latecomers will be admitted only if there is space.

I’M NOT SURE I CAN AFFORD TO TAKE PART…

If you need help to pay for things like project fees, transport or childcare, we can help. Find out how you can get support. If you are using a bursary to pay for the project, please ensure you arrange this with the Advice Base with plenty of time before the start of the project.

I HAVE ADDITIONAL NEEDS. WHAT SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE?

We are committed to supporting D/deaf, disabled and neurodiverse young people, those with medical conditions, access requirements or any lived experience that may require adaptation, support or sensitivity. If there is anything you would like to let us (our youth workers, tutors or staff) know that will support your enjoyment and access, you can do so by emailing us at advicebase@roundhouse.org.uk, and we will contact you to discuss further how to best support your engagement.
