Rehearsal rooms, recording facilities and music tuition are at the core of The Bunkerโ€™s services, providing a base and space to develop for bands and artists. We also work with a range of local venues and arts organisations to provide development opportunities and encourage cultural activity in Sunderland. Additionally, we deliver training, development and career guidance on a range of music/arts-

related topics to budding musicians and young people in Sunderland. We have a wide range of training courses and professional music tuition at a reasonable price, often discounted or free of charge, for those who qualify for financial support. We currently have students as young and 6 years old, all the way up to 80 years old. Youโ€™re never too young or old to start learning to play an instrument. We offer equipment hire and events management services, whether youโ€™re a local band looking for some support at your gig, or you need a PA system for a small party, or even a full system for a live event, we can provide a solution.

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.

๐ŸŽค 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.

๐ŸŽธ 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.
