Newton Q - Youth Wing

  • Newton Cucumber Band and Sound Room
    The facility is a recording studio staffed by youth workers and a sound engineer, available primarily on Friday evenings. The service is targeted (and free!) for young people (usually 11-18). We aim to produce a sample cd for each group, and support them as required in their development as musicians.
