The MAD4MUSIC showcase was a huge success!

It took place at The Cellar Bar, in The Beechwood Hall Hotel on Friday 1st August.

Ivy Arch Studios held “master classes” in Guitar, Bass & Drums during the week, and Song writing coaching for budding writers.

The 10 young students (12yrs-15yrs) from around Worthing had a chance to record their tunes, and then perform in a gig on the last day, attended by friends and family.

“The standard of musicians was really high” said Dominique LeVack, course leader, “and we hope to run these again in October half term. There is nothing like this in Worthing.”

The course was held at Ivy Arch Studios and supported by professional musicians Nigel Ball & Adam Winbolt and a Guitar Master class from Guitar Junction.

DVD’s along with a CD of all the bands recorded tunes are available to buy for £12 from Ivy Arch Studios.

In the meantime thanks for your support, it was a great laugh for everyone involved.
