Open Door Sessions
Flexible, supportive, and built around you
Open Door Sessions are fortnightly drop-in sessions designed to give you direct support with your music, whatever stage you’re at.
Book a 20-minute slot with a member of the Amped team and get hands-on help with guitar, bass, percussion, music theory, DAW/production, or even career guidance. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to push your skills further, these sessions are shaped around what you need.
No pressure, no expectations, just practical support to help you move forward.

The Takeover Sessions
Youth-led, pressure-free, and all about expression
The Takeover is a monthly open mic night at Berwick Youth Project, created for young people aged 11–25 to perform, connect, and build confidence in a safe, supportive space.
Whether you want to perform, test new material, collaborate, or just come along and listen, this is your space to explore music at your own pace.
Completely free and open to all abilities, no gatekeeping, just good energy and real opportunities to grow.
Breakthrough Programme
From practice room to paid gigs
Breakthrough is our band mentorship programme, funded by Arts Council England, designed to help emerging bands take the next step.
Work closely with the Amped team to develop your sound, tighten your live performance, and understand how the music industry actually works. The programme is focused on progression, supporting you towards real opportunities, including paid gigs and live showcases.
If you’re serious about your band and ready to move forward, this is where things start to level up.
