The Green House

Now a fixture on our music development calendar, The Green House runs for a week long intensive retreat for artists that are looking to move their careers forward. 

Applications are whittled down to three final participants who are awarded a week long residency with us.

Taking place at the Green Dragon Studios, Stockton,  the residency gives all three artists the opportunity for free access to professional rehearsal and recording facilities, advice from industry experts and the opportunity to perform a fully recorded live set at The Georgian Theatre, Stockton.

During that time they develop their work and come away with tangible assets that can be used for promotion and music releases.

The residency is kindly supported by The PRS Foundation as part of their Talent Development Network – of which Tees Music Alliance is a proud member. 

The Green House helps us to address issues raised at our music development events, such as our annual On Point music conference and our year round one-to-one advice sessions. It aims to level the playing field by offering facilities that artists – especially during the cost of living crisis – may not have the resources to invest in.

It also gives artists the time and space out of their busy lives to develop their craft as musicians and performers, as well as providing access to expert knowledge that will help demystify what, at times, can be a confusing industry, especially to those early in their careers.

The Green House residency offers artists the following opportunities…

• Access to rehearsal space to practice, write music and work on live setup.
• Access to a professional recording studio for one day to record music, which will be mixed by our in-house engineer after the week has finished.
• Workshops with music industry professionals offering expert advice, followed by a post-residency 1-to-1 video call with an industry expert on any areas they feel need developing.
• Photoshoot from a local photographer.
• A live performance in our venue – The Georgian Theatre – with full audio and visual recording of the performance.
• Ongoing music industry advice and mentoring, after the week has ended.
