Amplify April

Amplify is a free performance opportunity for young people aged 12-18 in a friendly and supportive event space.

Performing in front of an audience can be daunting – so if you’re a young musician wanting to try something out on a smaller scale and build your confidence in a relaxed environment, Amplify is for you!

We invite young people to perform in front of other young musicians, family, and friends. You’ll also get a chance to see bands and soloists from the Bandjam group at Middlesbrough Town Hall. We welcome all types of music – your performance can be something you’ve been working on recently that you would like people to hear, and it doesn’t have to be a finished piece.

Our MC will be on hand to support throughout the event to manage the performers and is always happy to share their music industry expertise.
