Rehearsal rooms, recording facilities and music tuition are at the core of The Bunker’s services, providing a base and space to develop for bands and artists. We also work with a range of local venues and arts organisations to provide development opportunities and encourage cultural activity in Sunderland. Additionally, we deliver training, development and career guidance on a range of music/arts-

related topics to budding musicians and young people in Sunderland. We have a wide range of training courses and professional music tuition at a reasonable price, often discounted or free of charge, for those who qualify for financial support. We currently have students as young and 6 years old, all the way up to 80 years old. You’re never too young or old to start learning to play an instrument. We offer equipment hire and events management services, whether you’re a local band looking for some support at your gig, or you need a PA system for a small party, or even a full system for a live event, we can provide a solution.

🎁🎄🎅 DAY TWENTY-THREE...

Happy Christmas Eve-Eve! We've got the final question in our Bunker mini Christmas quiz, and the answer to the previous question on the second slide!

This week we want to know: which group of children's characters had five major UK single releases in 1974, including a top ten charting Christmas song?

A. The Muppets
B. Zippy, George and Bungle
C. The Wombles

As for the answer to the previous question - which nu-metal band covered 'Kidnap the Sandy Claws' - the answer is B. Korn! It actually fits right in with their discography, if we're honest about it.
