Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Set up with a donation from our patrons Kaiser Chiefs in 2009, LMT invested in Leeds' oldest and most respected rehearsal studios Old Chapel Music Studios close to the city centre, but in a deprived locality, where the band spent it's formative years, writing a string of international hits. LMT garnered support from other charities and funders to provide a new services at the site, including a recording studio, classroom and teaching space, and space for Cloth Cat Studios. LMT believes that live music is a power for good which can break down social barriers and benefit both those involved and the wider communities of Leeds. Our Mission is to provide educational musical opportunities that are ethical, intergenerational and inclusive. We support young musicians and give disadvantaged people in Leeds access to training, mentoring and skills development. Our Aim is to promote the art of music, develop musical education and skills and provide professional expertise and facilities for amateur musicians and local communities. Our Values are fun, equality and a sense of fair play.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We have set up this page in memory of Daniel Murphy who suddenly and unexpectedly passed away on 2nd January 2022.

He had been going to Old Chapel Studios (part of Leeds Music Trust) for many years and absolutely loved his Thursday sessions.  Big thanks to Mark, Sharon and Jim who helped make it all happen.  Dan had such great days with Manni, George, Andy, and all his carers playing music, writing their own songs, singing and generally having fun. 
 
Dan started with bongos, moving onto drums and other instruments eventually plucking up the courage to use a microphone, which could be quite loud to say the least.  Without the support from everyone at Leeds Music Trust Dan would have never grown into the confident musician he became, he would have also missed out on a lot of fun!

Your donation will help Leeds Music Trust continue their vital work with young musicians and disadvantaged people in the Leeds area.  Here is a link to their website if you would like to know more.
