Calling all young professional, semi-professional and aspiring musicians living in Stroud!

We’re extremely excited to have the insanely talented multi-instrumentalist, producer & composer Steve Strong, hosting our very first Musicians Masterclass Sessions at SVA.

Steve Strong is a one man arsenal of beats, tapped guitar and lush textural melodies. His music is as witheld as it is grandiose, as skeletal as it is layered, equal parts shimmering and pulsing. It glimmers, swings and explodes in all the right places, sliding gracefully from one section to another, played as tightly as it is loose and free.

Steve’s masterclass will include:

A short performance, insight in to his work-flow. Vital information on how to network, play shows, tour, present your music to labels, from an Independent, DIY perspective.

He’ll discuss the realness of music, and how you don't have to be schooled on music to create something interesting, followed by a Q&A.

Don’t miss this opportunity to get up close and personal with one of the music industry’s true powerhouses of authentic creativity!

Musicians Masterclass Sessions are designed to empower emerging home-grown talent as they take the next steps in their careers.

Limited tickets available on the door or £5.00 advance.

(Entry is free to MOULD members).

About Steve Strong

Far from being a master of hype, Steve sits steadily as an underground cult figure, progressing creatively through relentless gigging, recording and collaborations. Thanks to his tendency to pop genres like paracetamol, his chameleon clangour finds a home across math rock, post punk, hardcore, psychedelia, trip hop, experimental jazz and even folk.
