VIBE in the Borders

With thanks to:

Young Start delivered by the National Lottery Community Fund

From 2025 to 2027/28, we are taking our VIBE programme to the Scottish Borders, working with local partners in the region.

VIBE is an informal music-making opportunity for young people that takes place during school holiday periods. There are no auditions and there is no requirement for young people to be able to read music. In VIBE, everyone works together to create new music which combines the playing styles and musical influences of everyone in the group – the emphasis is on trying out new ideas, building confidence and enjoying making music together.

Final sessions and performances of 2025

5 September | Course day, Earlston High School
6 September | Course day, Melrose Corn Exchange
7 September | Rehearsal and performance, Melrose Corn Exchange

Please get in touch if you are interested in getting involved, by emailing connect@sco.org.uk. More details to follow.
