Barnstorm Events

Supporting young musicians at Farrington Gurney Memorial Hall

Barnstorm Events is a community-led initiative at Farrington Gurney Memorial Hall, providing opportunities for young musicians to perform live in a safe and supportive environment.

Through our Youth Amplified programme, we are building a regular live music platform that brings together performers, families, and the wider community.

Barnstorm Events is seeking funding to upgrade the hall’s sound amplification system, enabling higher-quality performances and supporting the continued development of youth live music events.

Supporting future events

Barnstorm Events has already demonstrated strong community engagement, with successful live music events showcasing young performers at Farrington Gurney Memorial Hall. However, the hall’s current sound amplification equipment is limited and restricts sound quality and performance capability.

Investment in a modern PA system and amplifier will allow Barnstorm to expand its programme, improve audience experience, and ensure the hall can continue developing as a creative hub for young musicians and the wider community.

Impact and Community Benefit

Barnstorm Events provides young musicians with a professional performance environment, helping build confidence, experience, and community connection. Events bring together families, residents, and performers, strengthening the role of Farrington Gurney Memorial Hall as a creative community venue.
