at The Stage Door

As part of 'SO: Stage Door', The Stage Door and Southampton & IOW Music present:

Rising Stars

Southampton & IOW Music is delighted to be partnering with The Stage Door and Golden Groove Productions to create a unique opportunity for young musicians in the city to take part in monthly open mic nights, supported by Arts Council England.

Each night will feature local professional musicians as the house band or artist who will host each night and support young musicians with their performance techniques. We will provide all the technical requirements and backline (instruments) needed to perform.

The sessions will run from 6.00pm - 9pm upstairs in The Stage Door and parents, friends and family are very welcome to attend and come and support.

Please note that anyone in school year 11 or below will need to be chaperoned either by a parent/guardian or by a teacher if attending with a school group. The Stage Door and Southampton Music Hub will not be responsible for the safeguarding of those taking part.

Southampton & IOW Music is delivering life-changing music for every child in Southampton and was founded in 2012. Southampton & IOW Music is a growing partnership of local, regional and national organisations, working together to build an inspiring and inclusive programme of music making that reflects the cultural diversity of our city. Together they are dedicated to delivering life-changing music experiences that enrich the life, health and well-being of our children and our community.
