“WE HAVE CREATED A PLACE FOR TALENTED, HARDWORKINGYOUNG MUSICIANS AND PERFORMERS”

ACHIEVEMENTS

For over 21 years, we have been at the forefront of the development of young musicians and bands in Scotland.


We have created a place for talented, hardworking young musicians and performers to thrive and we work with an incredible mix of young people.


While several of their pupils have gone on to win NATIONAL titles in their chosen field, many others just love to make music in a safe and inspiring environment which Loud n Proud provide.


Over the years their work has had an amazing impact on young people’s confidence, social practice, concentration, creativity and general outlook on life. They give their students the confidence and encouragement to achieve their dreams whatever they may be!

Testimonials from Professionals

What you do for young talent is amazing. Giving them the opportunity to support well known acts is invaluable.
Midge Ure
Ultravox
The standard of your young students is amazing. We don’t think we have heard young bands of such a young age play like that before. They have the right attitude and act professionally.
Glen Gregory and Martyn Ware
Heaven 17
Your young band that supported us were fantastic. The work you guys put in seems to pay off.
Pat Kane
Hue and Cry
Your young bands are fantastic, my dad (Simple Minds Manager) is a big fan and loves going to see them play.
Jim Kerr
Simple Minds
With the right equipment, a place with a mix of professional music producers and bands working alongside young students in the same place would be a benefit for new emerging talent.
Dee Bahl
Biffy Clyro (Manager)
What you do for young musicians is amazing. The opportunities you give them and the shows you put on are astounding.
Tom Russell
Radio Presenter (Clyde, Rock Radio)
We would be able to use a facility that could give young people a ‘real hands on’ experience working with industry standard equipment would certainly make our young people more employable
Tam Young
Renfrewshire Council - Manager of New Directions
A studio offering creative spaces, recording facilities and rehearsal/workstation areas is something that would be of great benefit to school students in terms of seminars, clinics and band camps etc
