🎼 We've been working behind the scenes to bring a fantastic new project to life: 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽

Working with The Bunker CIC we're using Community Chest to fund free introductory music lessons for primary school children across Sunderland.

This is something I am massively excited about and I want to thank all of the councillors who have helped fund the project and for Kenny at The Bunker for having the passion to help bring the project to life.

🎤 If funding is formally approved next month then children from across St Michael's, Ryhope, Castle, Barnes and St Peter's ward will be taking part in the scholarship project this year.

🎸 I've already spoken to other City Councillors who want to carry on the Children's Music Lessons Scholarship next year as well, to keep giving local kid theopportunitiess they deserve.

This is what Sunderland Music City is all about.

Isaac Crawford, an 11-year-old drumming student at The Bunker, made a surprise appearance last night performing alongside The Stockton Road Hit Squad. A standing ovation right off the bat from a capacity crowd at The Fire Station.

Such a brilliant idea from the amazing folks at The Bunker to get Isaac involved in the show and we can't thank Isaac, his parents and everyone at The Bunker enough for being part of this event.

Isaac Crawford. Remember the name.
