The Carousel Tapes

A two-year programme of live recorded showcases and hands-on training supporting Nottingham’s next wave of grassroots talent. The Carousel Tapes pairs intensive training with real event experience. This project gives emerging artists/musicians, early-career promoters, technicians and creatives paid opportunities to build skills, portfolios and audiences.

Six events. Four performances per night. One shared goal: growing the future of live music in the city.

OUR PLAN:

  • EVERY SHOW IS RECORDED, PHOTOGRAPHED AND FILMED.

  • EVERY SHOW IS REAL WORK EXPERIENCE.

  • EVERY SHOW MAKES SPACE FOR NEW VOICES.

  • EVERY SHOW BUILDS CONFIDENCE.

  • EVERY SHOW CONNECTS ARTISTS + AUDIENCES + TECHNICIANS.

EVERY SHOW MAKES OUR GRASSROOTS STRONGER.
