Harmonic Ruckus with Purpose
Just before Christmas, five local bands from Our Space helped raise £875 in aid of Foyle Search and Rescue by hosting an amazing night of diverse music at Nerve Centre — ranging from the energetic beats of bands like Sensory Overload to the soulful melodies of The Suite.
Nurturing Young Talent
Our initial goal with Our Space was straightforward — to provide the next generation of young musical talent with a platform and the experience of performing in a top tier music venue. However, we've witnessed some serious developments in the group over the past year, as they continue to exceed our already-high expectations!
After four live Nerve Centre shows and an exclusive set at our Stendhal Festival stage, the young artists have grown in stature and confidence, with audiences at capacity for every event. The dedication put towards perfecting their performances was evident as each band delivered polished sets, leaving crowds exhilarated.
As the bands left the stage, there was one question in the air for both performers and audience: "When can we do it again?”
With the answer being... Easter Thursday 28 April, and at Easter Music Hothouse on Friday 5 May!
Beyond Applause
Beyond the applause and cheers, the charity event was more than just a night of music. It showcased the incredible talent of these young musicians, and the collective success achieved by a dedicated community.
