 Young Musicians Project supports young musicians (13-19) to develop skills, write and play together, and to take the first steps towards gigging, recording and releasing their music.
Currently running three weekly music groups from Field Music Studio in the centre of Sunderland, a Hendon Projet, and. Lambton Street Youth Centre Project.

All young people are welcome at Young Musicians Project, whether you’ve never written a song before or if you have music you’re already working on. The groups are youth-led and we try and make the groups as responsive as possible to the interests of the members. YMP also have an instrument library, so you don’t need to worry about not having your own kit.

The groups come together regularly for YMP Socials at Pop Recs Ltd, which is a chance for all the groups to share their work with each other. YMP also offer regular recording opportunities in studios across the region, including Sun Loft Sounds, Harbourmaster Productions and Blank Studios, and support young people to take the first steps towards releasing their work.

For those young people who want to, YMP also offer a variety of (paid) performance opportunities, including local and regional support slots at venues like Cumberland Arms, Alphabetti Theatre and Independent, and at local festivals, such as Summer Streets, A Stones Throw Festival and Waves.

YMP also run special projects which are open to group members, such as our the Our Past, Our Future project with English Heritage.
