Youth Music Project in Leith.

Bainbridge Youth Music (BYM) aims to provide a unique musical experience for kids aged between 10 and 18 within Bainbridge Walk Studio, based on Iona Street in Leith.
 
BYM gives young people the chance to spend a few hours every week learning how to play in a band and make new friends. With the guidance of trained, experienced tutors, we help attendees learn their favourite songs and learn to write new songs as a band. At the end of each term there will be an opportunity to record some tracks in Bainbridge Music’s professional recording studio, and play a gig!
 
All instruments and equipment are provided for by Bainbridge Music, and the recording is overseen by a professional record producer to get the best possible results from the studio time. All this is provided FREE OF CHARGE in conjunction with Creative Scotland. All the attendees have to do is turn up, plug in, and rock out!!
 
As well as the enjoyment benefits of playing in a band and making new music and new friends, each BYM term gains a Dynamic Youth Award, which is worked through with the tutors as part of the course. This award makes up a quarter of a Bronze Youth Achievement Award. This is supplemented each term by a qualified business mentor to give advice on learning and career opportunities opening up through BYM attendance.

Welcome to Be You Own Stereotype As all you jolly fellows will have realised most of Scotlands music is run, funnily enough for profit. We are different. Over the past few days, months and years we have spent time trying to set up links to ensure bands get the free gigs they should while recieving the benifits they deserve. At the moment we are working with Box Glasgow on their Sunday and Monday nights to create the mutualy benefitial scene we know we want to be part of. Any money we make will go back into promotion, advertising or helping touring bands come to Glasgow on the promise of a gig swap for anyone who wants one. We will work our collective arses off to make music what it should be, it wont change the world, but fuck knows we'll have fun trying.

We've all been raised by television to believe that one day, we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars.  But we won't.  And we're slowly learning that fact.  And we're very, very pissed off.

Us, as people:

Orlaith Prendergast – Lead vocals

Orla has a unique vocal style which is fragile and haunting at times but can be equally powerful when it's time to rock. Orla’s Celtic tones have featured on a number of tracks by Union of Knives and her music has featured in US TV series Grey’s Anatomy and the Vampire Diaries.

Brian Payne – Drums

Brian is an expressive and technically outstanding drummer whose driving rhythms beat like the heart of the band. Brian has played a number of sell out tours with the Complete Stone Roses and also played at T in the Park and Oxegen festivals.

Dave Orr / "Chorr" – Bass

Chorr is the other half of the rhythm section and paired with Brian they make a solid base for Orlaith and Dave W to build melodies on. Chorr is a talented and well-travelled bass player whose chequered past reads like a 'who's who' of excellent but mainly defunct bands that you've never heard of.

David Wason – Lead Guitar

David Wason is an energetic and frenetic lead guitarist. Having played with several bands as well as doing his own solo projects, David uses his experience of several instruments to add chaotic riffs and haunting backing vocals to the mix.
