Plim, Polly & Tom's Race to the King
James Plimsoll is raising money for School Ground Sounds
Story
School Ground Sounds aims to transform the lives of young people through music.
Operating in Brixton and focusing on those from lower income backgrounds, it provides song-writing and music-making opportunities to 11 – 16 year olds – aiming to build confidence and valuable life skills as well as building positive engagement and keeping them off the increasingly dangerous streets.
For the 16 – 24 age bracket, it provides opportunities and support to aspiring musicians through the mentoring programme; Grit School (a seven-week crash course in the music industry); and the EP Accelerator programme.
It provides young people with contacts, insights, skills and confidence to pursue their dreams. With the decline in priority and funding given to music in state schools the demand for what SGS offers is greater than ever.
