Ed Sheeran at The Tin
News
You were probably as delighted by the news of Ed Sheeran's visit to Coventry this week & his support of grassroots organisations such as The Tin & Coventry Music whom we support in this magazine as we were.
Therefore I'm delighted to share this message from The Tin:
"Yesterday afternoon Ed Sheeran, one of the best-selling music artists in history, made a surprise appearance at The Tin Music and Arts during a youth band rehearsal.
The appearance coincided with launch of Sheeran's new charity, The Ed Sheeran Foundation, which will aim to improve access to music for more than 12,000 children and young people by providing instruments, creating performance opportunities and opening pathways into the industry.
The Tin is one of 18 national music organisations and three Coventry centres which will receive funding through the foundation to support their work with young people. The Tin's Live on Stage project, run in partnership with Coventry Music, launched in 2017 with just four bands.
It's great to see established artists supporting young musicians and grassroots music venues!
So how can you support our grassroots venue?
We're currently raising money to have the front of our venue refurbished. If you've visited us recently you will have noticed our frontage is in need of desperate repair. We're half way towards our target but we still need to raise £5000"
