SoCo Music Project has run and been involved in hundreds of creative projects over the last few years, ranging from early years storytelling to intergenerational film making. We’ve worked with large funding bodies such as Big Lottery, Youth Music and local authorities.

Our main focus is music and providing positive opportunities for all, and it’s with our cultural partners across the region that we are developing a creative offer that enriches lives across the city and beyond.

Our main projects right now include:

The Creative Hub
In the heart of Southampton, the Hub is a unique space for creative activity. A central point for musicians, film makers, producers and performers... we regularly host showcase events on our stage, record balcony sessions for up and coming acts and provide tuition and workshops in a wide range of creative activities. It’s a place to meet, practice, explore, create and perform.

Hightown Studios
Based in Thornhill, at the Hightown Community Centre, Hightown Studios is close to completion and will be a state of the art recording and learning facility, consisting of a 24 track fully digital recording suite with live room, vocal booth and drum booth, plus a learning suite containing 6 iMacs loaded with creative software.

The Creative Academy
Accredited creative courses for young people... We deliver Arts Awards up to Gold level for those wanting a qualification in a creative subject, whether its music, film, radio, visual arts or a combination.

Youth Music Power Play
We’ll be working with Southampton Music Services an the Turner Sims Concert hall to deliver a range of exciting and engaging music workshops across the city... more information coming soon...
