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.

This week's Student of the Week is... 🥁🥁🥁Gene! He was nominated by his tutor, Will, who had this to say:

"Gene has been one of my longest remaining students and he’s always consistently chipping away at something new all while trusting the process. Here’s him just mastering the blues/pentatonic scale, good job mate!"

Congratulations, Gene!

This week's Student of the Week is... 🥁🥁🥁Finn! He was nominated by his tutor, Will, who had this to say:

“My nomination for Student of the Week is Finn! He’s a very promising drummer whose confidence grows more and more every lesson.”

We also have a lovely quote from Simon, Finn's dad:

“Finn’s confidence on the drums has come along leaps and bounds, he looks forward to every lesson. We’ve noticed Finn’s interest in music expanding and his confidence growing on a weekly basis.”

Well done Finn!

It's that time again, and this week, we want to know some of your gigging horror stories. What's the absolute worst or weirdest thing that's ever happened to you at a gig, and how did you handle it? Can you look back and laugh about it now?

Obviously, keep it as clean as it can be, you rascals 👀
