[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]GET IN! and Make Some Music! [/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The IRMA Trust in partnership with Cork City Council is offering young bands and solo musicians the opportunity to GET IN! and get rehearsing!
Despite the extraordinary level of music activity in Ireland, there remains a dearth of accessible and suitable, dedicated rehearsal spaces for young, pre-professional musicians throughout the country. In response, the IRMA Trust devised the GET IN! initiative, through which they have partnered with Local Authority Arts Officers to provide permanent rehearsal spaces for young musicians. The aim of GET IN! is to improve resources for young bands and musicians by providing instruments and equipment for rehearsal purposes.
During 2003, the GET IN! project will focus on the Munster region. The IRMA Trust has partnered with local authority arts officers in Kerry, Limerick and Cork to develop the rehearsal facilities.
Following the successful launch of facilities in Killarney and Limerick the GET IN! project will be launched in Cork City on the 18th September.
The IRMA Trust has furnished Cork City Council with instruments and equipment for the purposes of a rehearsal space. The City Arts office has provided funding for the rental of the venue and will engage a supervisor to oversee access to the space. The facilities will be available to young musicians aged between 12 and 26 years of age for a nominal fee. This money will in turn be used to maintain and upgrade the equipment.
The fully equipped rehearsal facility has been set up at the Middleparish Community Centre, Grattan Street, Cork City. The IRMA Trust has engaged a technician to work with Cork City Council during the start-up phase and will also help musicians using the Middleparish facility to access relevant information about and links to music industry organisations. Liz Meaney, Arts Officer with Cork City Council stated "there is a thriving music scene in Cork City. The provision of adequate facilities to meet the needs of musicians at all levels is very much on the agenda of the City Arts Office."
An introduction and initial sign-in session for GET IN! will take place on Thursday 18th September from 5-6.30pm at the Middleparish Community Centre, Grattan Street, Cork.
