The Rockschool Showcase was an incredible night, packed with a multitude of genres, cool covers and amazing musicianship.

Thank you to all the talented performers who put so much into the show, the raucous supporters (what a crowd!) and special thanks to Archie and Leon for all their hard work putting the set together.

November Update:

Mavericks Lines has got off to a storming start! We’ve had our core groups, Rockschool, The BASE and Beats & Bars all writing and recording for the first 6 month cycle of the project. As it’s multi-genre this time around, expect a very exciting mix of styles for the album en-route for March! We’ll be promoting the release with some collaborative live performances in places you wouldn’t expect!

Our 1-2-1s have been super busy during November, with young people completing over 140 hours of tailored provision. We’ve had drum sessions, piano lessons, indie ballads and a hefty influx of musical theatre and metal! It’s always a wonderful insight to see what music our young people are interested in, with Jinx and Mike ever expanding their playlists, guided by those in the know!

The team at Music Fusion are so incredibly proud of Kat for completing the Challenge Squad 2025 for Children In Need. Kat performed live on BBC TV with Sam Ryder. They also appeared multiple times on The ONE Show. This has not only been an incredible journey for Kat, but has helped raise Music Fusion’s profile. We’ve been able to signpost dozens of enquiries from across the UK to relevant services, plus received a few referrals of our own.

We’d like to thank everyone that’s been in touch with kind messages, support and donations. A special mention to Susan, who donated funds to buy two beautiful studio guitars in memory of her son Chris. Attendees can now access a brand-new Fender Telecaster and Epiphone SG to learn or record guitar in our studio.

Finally, it’s that time of year again, when we are nearly ready for our annual Rockschool Showcase! Expect an eclectic mix of covers and originals, hosted at our home, The Spring Arts Centre. Monday 8th December, from 7pm. Check the link below for tickets! 😊

Kat on the BBC – latest update -- Last night we watched one of our young people interview by the One Show about the challenges they face, and how the team at Music Fusion helped them find a future.

Kat continues to astonish us with their honesty, integrity and energy. We are all so proud of how hard Kat has worked for this.
Please support Kat by watching their live Duet with Sam Ryder on BBC1 - this Friday (14th November) at 9.20pm.

Thank you to everyone who has donated to Music Fusion through Kat’s advocacy for our work. Together, we are more than just a music charity.

It’s kind of amazing to catch up on Kat’s journey as one of this year’s Challenge Squad. Kat is both raising money for Children In Need, and awareness for Music Fusion. In this appearance on the ONE SHOW, Kat meets up with Sam Ryder and practiced for the big show, presented the project to a packed Globe Theatre and literally dropped in at their local skate park.

Well done Kat, we are all super proud of your big heart, hard work and compassion for people who get overlooked and forgotten.

Check out Kat performing live with Sam Ryder on Children in Need next week (Friday 14th November on The One Show).

Happy Halloween!
Here’s what we’ve been up to during October:

Mavericks Lines, our latest project funded by the OPCC has launched this month. We’re running 3 x 6 month segments this time, to switch it up and keep things moving! We’re working with lots of Music Leaders and young artists to deliver a multi-genre release every 6 months! Expect some cool filmed performances along the way, culminating with a massive end of project celebration in 18 months’ time.

As you might have seen, Children In Need have chosen one of our young people, Kat, to feature on their “Challenge Squad 2025.” Kat will be performing with Sam Ryder on national TV in November! We’re delighted for Kat to be able to share their story as well as their excellent music. Tune in Tuesday 4th November for the latest update on Kat’s journey!

The time is rapidly approaching for one of our favourite nights of the year, The Rockschool Showcase. Attendees have been working hard writing originals and working up some very cool covers to perform. Tickets are now live on The Spring website! Monday 8th December, 7pm, get it in your diaries now! 😊

Finally, we’re over the moon to be funded by Youth Music for the next 3 years. This supports our much needed front line provision, but also helps with some awesome plans we'll be sharing with you soon. We’re looking forward to working with our partners at The Wedgewood Rooms, The Spring Arts Centre and Portsmouth Guildhall on this, a super exciting few years ahead!

Thanks again to all the people that continue to support Music Fusion, we couldn’t do it without you.
For those that missed it, here’s Kat’s appearance on the One Show last week. 😊

Music Fusion are delighted to announce that Youth Music have committed to funding our Music Lab programme for the next three years. This not only pays for much needed front line provision, but it’s also a chance to try new things, work with new partners and help develop even more opportunities for our young people.

There is huge credit due to our Team at Music Fusion whose diligence, hard work and big hearts have proven that what we do… works really well. Thank you to Youth Music for believing in us. Looking forward, I feel these are exciting times.

Music Fusion have some really fabulous friends, supporters and partners. Hence, it was an delight when Jacqui from Tesco got in touch to say, ‘Pop into the store, I have a surprise for you.’ Here is Jacqui with a trolley full of much needed folders, books, pens and of course… bottled water for the studio. The surprise was an extra pile of headphones and speakers to be donated directly to our young people. I believe this proves the idiom… every little helps.
