The Festival Set Up
The Mobile Music Hub brings quality instruments and friendly musicians to festivals. We help children and young people learn new skills and jam together and offer them performance opportunities. We have a mixture of traditional instruments; like guitars, ukuleles and keyboards. We also have a collection of music tech that includes MIDI instruments from ODD.Ball and Playtronica, samplers, recording equipment, loop pedals and effects pedals. We also have all the equipment necessary to run open mics on our mini stage. We can do all this running off solar power!
Drop in And Jam
At festivals we find our drop in and jam workshop works best, as participants can come and go so they don't miss their favourite bands. We set up the instruments and let the young people try them all, usually sparking up spontaneous jams.
We use these sessions to nurture new skills, and we recruit the stars of the future to perform at our open mic, and even at the bigger stages at the festival.
We are inclusive and participant led, which means we like to meet the young person where they are on their musical journey and help them move forward in a direction that inspires them.
The team
Emily and the team are fully DBS checked and have had professional training and experience working with children and young people, including SEN, at festivals, events, community groups, youth centres and schools. The team are working musicians with a range of skills, all from different backgrounds ranging from actor musicians to music producers.
"Emily is really good with grabbing the kids and getting them enthusiastically involved, it surprises and delights us to see our shyest kids also quietly sitting around Emily's tent engaging by being present in the music with their peers"

"The Mobile Music Hub has become the absolute centre of our teens area, with its super empowering tutor musicians, open mic slots and friendly atmosphere, we wouldn't want to run our teens tent any other way! We are fairly convinced the Mobile Music Hub will be single handedly responsible for empowering and discovering the next great teen pop idol!"
