11. The Friday Night Project

The Friday Night Project: Free rehearsal space for young musicians Young musicians in Southend have nowhere to go. All rehearsal studios charge fees and feel like adult-only clubs. The Friday Night Project will open The Song School every Friday, giving 16-21 year olds free access to fully-equipped band rooms and recording space to rehearse and connect. No fees. No barriers. Just young people making music, building community, and preparing for futures in Southend's thriving music scene. This is where the next generation of artists begins.
