Waverley Mall is set to continue its monthly live music showcase with the October edition of ‘The Waverley Sessions’ in partnership with The Youth Radio Network.
This popular event is set to take place on the weekend of 19th and 20th October with a fantastic line up of Scottish talent taking to the stage across the weekend.
Customers should expect to see performers of a variety of ages and genres stepping up to the mic, from solo singers to guitarists, duos and groups who will showcase their talent across the weekend.
Performers this weekend include Jen O’Mahoney, guitarist Dave MacGregor, Italian born singer-songwriter Riccardo Giujusa, 14-year-old Ethan Gibb, Euan Russell and girl duo ‘In The Mix’ to name a few …
While there is no age limit, with the support of the team from The Youth Radio Network, young artists in particular are offered the opportunity gain public performance experience and increase their sense of self confidence.
The event will kick off at 11am on Saturday on Waverley Mall’s stage and will be hosted by Keiran Harvey and the team of volunteers from The Youth Radio Network until 5pm on the Sunday evening.
There are still a few spaces left to perform at the October event, so anyone wishing to take part should contact the team via the Waverley Mall and Youth Radio Network social media channels.
Waverley Mall has been working in collaboration with The Youth Radio Network with The Waverley Sessions since April this year, following two successful events hosted by The Youth Radio Network in December last year.
The Youth Radio Network’s vision is to empower, teach and entertain young people, aged 13 to 25 years, through the power of music and digital technology, opening doors to the broadcast industries, and to become more employable helping them to get the best start in life.
Their role includes teaching young people the ropes of the broadcast industry and helping to prepare them for employment through CV preparation, mock interviews and confidence building.
Through their work with Waverley Mall they are empowering young people – giving them opportunities skills and equipment as well as hands on experience in a real life setting for a future in the music / broadcast industry. By providing a platform to perform, Waverley Mall is building on this opportunity with the chance to build personal confidence in performing in public.
Keiran Harvey, CEO, The Youth Radio Network says: “The Waverley Sessions has really gained momentum as we have gone through this year, attracting more and more performers each month – there is seemingly no end to the talent that Scotland holds!
“We’d like to encourage anyone that is keen to break into the music industry to get in touch to find out more about the opportunities we have available.”
Jacquelyn Stewart, General Manager, Waverley Mall says: “The Waverley Sessions continues to be a popular event for performers and audiences alike and we can’t wait to welcome another great line up of talented musicians from Scotland and beyond, to Waverley Mall this October.”
