Budding musicians and filmmakers develop their talents
Twenty young people from across the Southern Education and Library Board (SELB) area have had an exciting opportunity to develop their passion for music and film.
They have taken part in two workshops held in the AmmA (Armagh multi media Access) Centre’s studios and workspaces in the Market Place Theatre, Armagh.
Officially opened in June, AmmA is a facility for use by people across the SELB area and this was reflected in that workshop participants came from Armagh, Craigavon, Dungannon, Lurgan and Newry.

The week-long projects finished with a show of the work produced by the film participants and a concert featuring the two bands – ‘The Other Band’ and ‘Buxten’, who developed their skills in music.
A spokesperson for the SELB said: “The ‘Making Music Workshop’ enabled the young people to develop their bands under the supervision of professionals, learn cover tunes and write original music.
“In the film workshop, tuition was offered by professionals in the areas of camera work, editing and production. Everyone was given the chance to complete their own short videos and they had access to the high quality facilities that the AmmA centre offers.
“The workshops were an enjoyable experience for both the tutors and the young people, who have been given a taste of what it would be like to work in the music and film industries.
“A project forged by the SELB, the AmmA Centre is for schools, individuals and organisations to facilitate creative engagement with multi-media technologies in film, animation, music, digital imaging, web and multi-media design combined with traditional art and music production.
“For further information on AmmA activities or to find out more about the centre, visit the ‘www.ammacentre.org’ website.”
The workshops were held from Monday, July 5, to Friday, July 9.
