Bath College music department has donated eight new computers to the Bath & North East Somerset Council-run Riverside youth music studio, as well as acoustic sound tiles for the newly renovated sound booth.

Somerset Crimebeat, a fund for young people which supports community safety initiatives, has also supported the project by supplying funding to kit out the sound booth.

The Bath & North East Somerset Council-run project operates from riverside youth centre on the London Road in Bath and is open to young people aged 13 -19 years. Young people have the opportunity to take part in recording, performing, and can take courses in music software, DJing and how to operate a recording studio.

Bath & North East Somerset Council's Cabinet Member for Children and Young People's Services Cllr Chris Watt said: "On behalf of the Council I would like to thank the college and Somerset Crimebeat for supporting the Riverside studio. The Council supports the project as better lives for young people is one of our key priorities."
