Up The Tempo

THE FIRST EVER Up The Tempo

Date: Sat 5th February 2011: 2-6pm

Venue: 16 Katharine St. Croydon


SUCCESS IN MUSIC NEEDS INSIGHT, YOU WANT IT? WE’VE GOT IT!

UP THE TEMPO Is an informative music industry networking event for young
people aged 13-21 who live in or around Croydon. With music being the most
powerful art of expression among young people today, this event will
enlighten, motivate and provide an opportunity to engage with the hottest
industry insiders at the moment.


Up The Tempo will include an Open-Mic session for attendees, free
workshops including equipment demonstrations and taster sessions for music
production, vocal guidance and DJ tutoring. Also, local music-based services
will be present on the day to network with attendees and share their
opportunities. An artist and industry panel will share their music career
journeys, give industry advice and take questions from the audience.
Confirmed panel members include Goldielocks, G Frsh, Nu Brand Flexx,
Chantelle Fiddy, Jak Frsh & Yasmin.


Many young people have dreams of becoming successful in the music
industry, we will help attendees explore the options available to them and
switch the focus from negativity, barriers, lack and limits to the power that
music has to engage young people, through positive activities and personal
and social development.


Aspiring to meet the needs of both musical novices looking for somewhere to
learn and emerging performers wanting to take their work to the next level, at
Up The Tempo we may just find home-grown talent that could put Croydon
back on the map.


Up The Tempo is a partnership project between The 4WD Foundation,
IGNiTE and BELS and has been kindly funded by Sound Connections.
