We will concentrate on basic guitar and keyboard skills for those new to these instruments but those with some experience will also find it invaluable for translating their skills into a range of settings. We will also cover some basic music theory using the most accessible linked chords to create quick and satisfying live band workshops for everyone involved.

Are you aware of Brighton Music Hub?

"Brighton Music Hub" is a 2-year music programme delivered by Crew Club after receiving funding from Youth Music. It will include master classes in live performance, setting up a record label and writing & releasing albums produced in our studio, being delivered in partnership with Audio Active, Rhythmix, Brighton Centre and Concorde 2 as well as other venues/partners tbc. The aim of Brighton Music Hub is:

To give young people in challenging circumstances the opportunity to take control of and run their own youth music provision in Whitehawk, through a programme of development and delivery in the disciplines of performance, production, business and leadership, resulting in a legacy of improved music skills, provision and equality.




Part of the project is to set up a live information hub, which lists the latest local music opportunities available to all young people. We have just recently launched a blog: http://btnmusichub.tumblr.com/. I would strongly encourage all youth music providers to contribute to this resource - whether it be profiles of young musicians you work with, web links, promotional material, youtube videos, jobs, courses, photos, news stories. For those who are on Twitter - follow @btnmusichub as each update is automatically tweeted out!

To add information, simply email it to: btnmusichub@crewclub.co.uk and one of our trainee music leaders will post it up to the blog!

We believe this will be a valuable tool for young musicians across the city. Please support it, share it and make use of it.

CREW CLUB, WHITEHAWK SKYDIVE TO SAVE CLUB.

The Crew Club is facing its toughest time to date and is in danger of having to dramatically reduce services or in the worst case close its doors altogether.

They believe that all young people need somewhere to go which supports their developmental needs and complements their education. This may be their school, home or the local youth centre. Over the last ten years, the Crew Club has built up a thriving safe youth work environment, with trusted staff, for young people aged 7 to 16 years, an accredited education programme for 16 to 19 year olds and a holiday scheme for young people with special needs and disabilities.

Due to the current financial situation all of this work is at risk.

As part of our fundraising strategy 10 members of staff will be doing a skydive from 12,000ft then free-falling at 120mph to 5,000ft.

This will provide you with an opportunity to support the club through JustGiving. If this is something that you would like to do then just click on the following link:

They truly appreciate your support for our work and in doing so many more young people will benefit from the services, projects and activities we provide.
