Devon Schools Mix

Devon School Mix - logoTo celebrate our 5th year of 'The Mix' we will be attempting to break the record for the largest ukulele ensemble to play in one location (see more information below). We are also introducing lots of exciting changes to truly make this a 'Music 4 All' experience. We are launching a new level of workshop, so if you already have some knowledge of how to play an instrument you can now book an intermediate level workshop and this year we are hoping that teachers will book into the workshops alongside their students too. See you at Westpoint on Weds 23rd June 2010.

Teenage Rampage Devon School Heat - An exciting opportunity for bands to showcase their talent in front of a panel of music industry professionals. Places are limited to 12 bands and high demand is expected.  All songs performed on the day must be original material, no covers accepted. This Teenage Rampage heat is looking to discover the next Muse or Artic Monkeys.
