My fourth year at the Summer Band Factory was just as excellent!


This year the ‘Summer Band Factory’ has expanded and we are now running separate

residential and non-residential summer courses.

Mini Summer Band Factory - Residential Course for 11 – 13’s
Tuesday 17th – Saturday 21st August 2010
Mini Summer Band Factory will be held in Uppingham, Rutland, where the students have access to

Uppingham School’s state of the art facilities – including the music school, theatre and accommodation. 
From Tuesday to Friday our tutor team of industry professionals will lead sessions in composition and arrangement. 

The students will research songs, discuss ideas and compose original material. 

From Wednesday afternoon rehearsals are scheduled and the students will begin to focus on the detail of their songs.  
New this year we are working with Rockhopper Studios to provide Summer Band Factory students with a fun

and exciting recording opportunity.  Each band will get the chance to record a song in the Rockhopper,

a unique mobile studio self-contained within a 1963 Airstream Overlander caravan!  Bands will also receive stagecraft sessions in preparation for their gig on Saturday. 

The Summer Band Factory gig will be held in the largest privately owned theatre in England and is open to friends and family.
Mini Summer Band Factory 2010 promises to be packed full of music making as well as allowing students to relax

in the evenings and make new friends.
