What’s On… Audition for Flames Collective!

Are you a promising vocalist and performer? Interested in joining our vocal group? Following an epic year for Flames Collective, including performances with Raye, Jake Bugg and Kojey Radical, the time has come for Flames to open the Talent House doors, on Tuesday January 9th, welcoming more of you, aged 14-18, to audition to join…

Who are we? The Flames Collective is UD’s flagship programme, working with young people from inner-city secondary schools who demonstrate high potential when it comes to music.

Born in 2016, from a series of songwriting camps, Flames now gives 20+ young people with singing talent, recruited via the schools projects, an entry into the world of the professional music industry.

Participants benefit from year-round weekly sessions and weekend or holiday camps offering expertise in vocal technique, songwriting, performance skills and the opportunity to record and perform at live gigs.
