🥁 Calling all drummers! 🥁

We’re looking to bring a donated Sonor Force 2003 drum kit back to life for use through Beyond Music Academy NE and Beyond Studios.

Before we go out and buy everything, we thought we’d ask the amazing Beyond community first.

We’re looking for:

• Hi-hat stand
• Hi-hat cymbals
• Crash cymbal
• Ride cymbal
• Drum throne (seat)
• Snare stand
• Cymbal stands

If you’ve got any spare drum hardware or cymbals gathering dust and would like to help support local musicians and young people, we’d love to hear from you.

Please drop us a message.

A huge thank you to everyone who continues to support independent music and what we’re building here at Beyond ❤️

For the last few years we’ve quietly been working with local young people through music at Beyond — helping them rehearse, record, perform live, build confidence and develop creatively.

Now we’re taking the next step.

Beyond Music Academy is opening registrations for free under 18s music sessions in Newcastle’s West End and surrounding areas, with regular weekly sessions beginning soon.

These sessions are for young people who want to:
🎤 Sing
🎸 Play in bands
🥁 Learn instruments
🎹 Produce music
🎧 Learn recording & live sound
🎬 Create content
🎶 Write songs
…or simply get involved in music and meet like-minded people.

Beyond Music Academy is about creating real creative opportunities through grassroots music, community, recording, performance and collaboration.

We already have the studio, venue and creative environment — now we want to expand what we’ve been building and make regular sessions available to more young people.

At the moment these sessions are being made possible through the goodwill of local musicians, volunteers and community support while we continue building long-term sustainable funding and opportunities for young people through music.

If you know a young person who may be interested, please share this and sign up below.

Massive thank you to the very talented Dan Byrne for supporting Beyond Music Academy ❤️🎶

This is exactly what the music community should be about, artists supporting grassroots music, young people and the next generation coming through.

Beyond Vinyl has always tried to be more than just a record shop. From in-store gigs and Beyond Sessions to the launch of Beyond Music Academy, everything links together with the aim of creating opportunities and keeping music culture alive locally.

Lots happening behind the scenes at the moment and we can’t wait to share more soon.

Please give the video a watch and show Dan some love 👏
