Residents have the chance to win a signed electric guitar in a raffle by the Cheese and Grain to raise funds for aspiring young musicians.
Last year, Coldplay rehearsed in the Cheese and Grain before headlining Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage.
As a gesture of thanks to the Frome area, the band made a ‘generous’ donation to help open the Bert Jansch Studio to local young people aged 12 to 18.
Their donation helped 180 young people access the Bert Jansch Music Studio and take part in 20 four-hour Sunday Sessions run by Young People Frome.
To keep the project going and run more sessions, the Cheese and Grain are raffling an Epiphone guitar signed by Coldplay. Every ticket sold directly funds studio time and creative opportunities for local young musicians.
The next round of Sunday Sessions aims to include, recording and songwriting masterclasses; studio time for young acts to produce their own material; collaborative sessions for musicians who’ve never met; sessions open to all schools and colleges; opportunities for youth organisations; dedicated sessions for home-educated young people; and open community music sessions.
Tickets cost £5 per entry and a winner will be drawn at random on Monday 5th January.
