ngm Open Day
11am-1pm, Caedmon Complex, Bristol Road, Thornbury

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.
