Dorchester's rising pop stars take the stage on Saturday March 10th for a showcase gig that everyone’s invited to. The current crop of Pop Club graduates have spent the past year devising an exciting mix of pop, rock and blues tracks. All twenty-seven members of the club will be performing live on stage at Dorchester Arts Centre at 7.30pm.
Pop Club meets every Saturday during term-time and offers youngsters with a passion to create and perform their own music the chance to play acoustic and electric instruments - saxophones, trumpets, guitars, percussion instruments including kit drums, cellos, violins and flutes and keyboards - and write their own vocal parts..
Pop Club Director Mickey Wills says: “We have such an amazingly talented bunch of young people here in West Dorset.”
“As part of their ARTS AWARD, run by the Arts Council and supported by Youth Music, our graduates have been teaching the skills they have learnt in Pop Club and acting as music mentors to the younger students.”
“ This mentoring is so valuable as you see these youngsters grow in confidence and encourage the next generation of young music makers to believe in themselves and develop their talents.”
“We’re really looking forward to this evening which has been entirely organised by our graduates who are laying on a buffet and prizes along with some great original music.”
Tickets for the gig are £5 on the door at Dorchester Arts Centre.
