We are creating a family orientated state of the art practice, recording and performance facility, that will act as a hub for any music and arts activities within the Airdrie and North Lanarkshire area, offering the opportunity for tuition and practice for all age groups and levels.
As keen musicians and performers we recognise the importance and the amazing benefits music can have on individuals and families alike. We also understand the positive effect that can be had with tuition, top of the range equipment and a good surrounding and environment.
When you mention music in North Lanarkshire, bands such as Soup Dragons, BMX Bandits, Teenage Fan Club, Hue and Cry, The Silencers and The Vigo Thieves spring to mind and we hope to emulate their success. We envisage The Music and Comedy Studios will be the hub of music in this area.
Our focus is performance you can practice and record as much as you like but the buzz you get from hearing fans sing your songs back to you, from putting on a performance and seeing the smiling faces in the audience there is nothing in the world like it. We hope to give artistes the space to practice and perform in an arena where they feel comfortable, where they can express themselves, where they can bring their own music to life no matter the genre.
The premises (Clarkston Miners Club); is an old social club, we plan to develop it to include
Our space is totally flexible and will be available to all members of the local community for fund raising events, celebrations and functions. We will also be developing a system that will allow all members of a family to come and watch their big brothers or sisters, mums and dads perform on our stage.
What will the funding be used for?
We have had to increase our offer for the purchase of the building and the funding for this is close to being secured, however this has left us with a short fall for equipment and developing the practice rooms, it’s with this we are asking for your assistance. As our aim is to create a new and exciting space to attract artistes from all over North Lanarkshire and beyond, we realise that our offering needs to be special and unique.
With that in mind your funding will enable us to:
About us.
