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.

Did you know we have a playlist full of local bands/artists who recorded at The Bunker last year?

Today we're sharing Patrick Gosling Music 's song 'Am I on Your Mind?', which was released in March of 2024 - we know you've heard it, and love it, but why not give it a listen again?

Check out the track through our Spotify playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0cfAeRzc5U9OmpKRyZg2V2?si=91be7b403296402f
