Community Music (CM) launch new monthly youth showcase "Greenshoots" and fanzine
at Rough Trade East
CM are proud to announce "Greenshoots" a new monthly showcase for local
young musicians at Rough Trade East, Dray Walk, off Brick Lane.
Greenshoots will be on the first Saturday of the month at 3pm starting
on the 2nd May and will give young bands the opportunity to perform in
front of a store full of discerning punters. Rough Trade East is the
latest extension of the legendary Rough Trade brand, opening at a time
when record stores have been closing, Rough Trade has ploughed it's own
furrow based on quality, reputation and great service. Bands that have
played at Rough Trade East include: Lightspeed Champion, Sebastien
Tellier, Alela Diane, Fleet Foxes, The Kills, Stereo Mc's, Noah And The
Whale, Roots Manuva, The Horrors And Kate Nash.
CM will also be launching a new project called Sound Source based at
Rough Trade every Saturday Morning, where local young people will create
their own fanzine and get the chance to programme and promote live
events throughout the borough. This will give the local youth music
scene a voice as well as giving a platform and support for the music
journalists, media mogals and entrepreneurs of tomorrow.
The showcase and Sound Source are funded by The Arts Council and are
part of Find Your Talent.
This new partnership adds to CM's existing local youth programme which
includes: Music Space Live! - giving young people the opportunity to
develop performance skills in front of an audience of their Peers;
Underage - CM co-host a stage programmed by young people showcasing
local music; Music Space - rehearsal, tuition and studio time for local
bands, musicians and technologists.
