Bandstrand is a network supporting young people involved in music-making in the York area. All kinds of music are supported - rock bands, singer/songwriters, classical, acapella groups, DJs, folk  bands etc...

Bandstrand is involved in organising and promoting gigs, workshops and other events aimed at supporting young people in all aspects of the music business.

We are also interested in hearing from young people who would like to be more involved with promotion, management, publicity, poster design, photography, review writing, sound engineering and lighting.
