The Big Music Project has been launched this week to support young local music talent in Hackney.

The project will give budding musicians access to free rehearsal space, advice and an insight into the music industry.

This year the project has expanded to all creative industries for the first time. They are now supporting young people get into future careers in anything from TV to fashion and gaming.

The music programme will finish with a grand public performance at the Hackney Picture House on the 25th February.
