For over 10 years, ngm has been running top quality arts and discipleship courses – this is your chance to come along and see what all the fuss is about!

NGM has a history of training artists and seeing them released into all that God has for them. Over the years people who have trained at NGM have gone into television presenting, bands and acts in the music scene around the UK, DJs travelling all round the world playing in clubs and writing music for games, films etc.

More recently one of our artists toured with the musical ‘Fame’, another with ‘Thriller Live’, one has just graduated from the Royal Academy of Music and 3 of those trained through NGM were in the band who played at the Royal wedding!

We also have trained numerous artists and worship leaders who have gone on to work within churches too. With a wealth of experience in developing artists and also mentoring and discipling them to help them prepare for the pressures they will face, if you are a young artist aged 17 to 25 then this is a great place to be!

Come and immerse yourself in the creative atmosphere of ngm for a morning: meet the tutors, explore our state-of-the-art complex, check out some of ngm’s top artists.

If you are a 17-25 year old dancer, singer, dj, technician, musician or communicator there will also be an opportunity to audition in the afternoon.

To attend the open day, book in now by emailing or calling 01454 414880. All welcome!

The Midlands Youth Jazz Orchestra is giving a concert to help raise money for the Castle School’s Jazz Orchestra. The Castle School has a history of excellence in music, and with its original members now at university, young blood has come into the Jazz Orchestra.

40% of the money raised from the concert will be going towards workshops run by MYJO for our budding jazz talents, as well as regular intervention by local jazz musicians. This will culminate in a second concert by MYJO at the school on 30 June, at which the Castle School Jazz Orchestra will participate.

Hosting such an exceptionally talented group of young musicians at Castle, will give us the possibility
to see big band jazz at its best! MYJO, as they are commonly known, have played with such distinguished guest artists as Jamie Cullum, Jools Holland, Jacqui Dankworth and the BBC Big Band, and are widely thought to be among the best in the country.

Tickets are £10 and on sale at The Castle School reception, Park Road, Thornbury, but can also be purchased by post. A bar will be available, with all money going towards the Jazz Orchestra fund. For any further information, please contact Tess Wilkinson on 01454 862124 or by email below.

The King and I is loved as one of the greatest musical of all time. Based on the novel Anna and the King of Siam it tells the heart-warming story of the British governess brought to the court of Siam to tutor the King’s many children. The melodic score is ravishing, the production a lavish, grand scale spectacle with sumptuous costumes, a chorus of adorable children and acrobatic dancers. The King is played by Ramon Tikaram whose West End credits include Jesus Christ Superstar and Bombay Dreams.

Birds of a Feather ran on BBC for nearly ten years throughout the 1990s becoming a massive hit right from the word go and remains not only a classic comedy but also, as a female-centred long running series, a truly rare gem. The three stars are re-united on stage to recreate their original characters, sisters Sharon and Tracy and their sex-mad neighbour, Dorien. This brand new show created especially for the theatre is on a very limited tour so don’t miss the opportunity to see the show onstage for the first time ever.
