How To Use It
Our temporary address until spring 2007 is

1 st Floor
32 Bond Street
Broadmead
Bristol
BS1 3LX

Our phone number is 0117 934 9013.

The Basement is now running free open access sessions again.
These sessions are for young people at all levels of music interest and experience. There are two areas: Live music - with drum kit, bass, electric or acoustic guitars, keyboard and mics; Urban music - with music tech, DJing and MCing.

There are 3x 40 min slots in each area every session. Each area is run by a tutor who will talk to you about what you want to do - and help you do it. There are also youth workers who can help you get info and advice on anything you need to know about and are generally up for a chat. They can also help you get certificates such as National Youth Achievement Awards or Arts Awards - either for the music you make or for other projects.

Call the Basement (0117) 934 9013 for more info - or just turn up. We're at the Unicorns, Colston Street (next to Colston Hall), on Tues and Thurs eves, 7.30-10pm. When you're standing in front of Colston Hall there's an archway directly to the right. Walk through there, make for the double brown doors (next to the bins) - through them and downstairs to the Unicorns. For more info please contact us on 0117 934 9013 or email us info(at)basementstudio.co.uk.

Young people can come to the Basement on their own or with a friend - or with a youth worker or someone else who supports them - it is usually best to phone for a chat and arrange to come up for a visit. Or just turn up at an open session.

Membership
Basement Studio membership is free - all you do is fill in a short form with contact details and basic info (we keep this locked away). We issue a special Basement card with a unique membership number which you bring every time you use the Basement.
As part of joining you have to understand our guidelines, these are straightforward and are about making sure everyone who uses the Basement feels safe and respected.
