BΒ Sharp’s MusicFutures programmes supports young musicians aged 16 – 25 who are interested in a career in music, to help them take next steps.
Β 
MusicFutures 2025 involved 15 young people working with Music Mentors from our Harbour Records Label, to record and release an original track across the year. They also met monthly as a group to learn about the industry through meeting local professional musicians, and took part in a programme of workshops to develop their skills in composition, production and performance.
Β 

The finale of the programme was a night of live music showcasing the raw talent and fresh sounds of these local, up-and-coming young musicians at the Bridport Arts Centre in July 2025. There wereΒ powerful performances, original songs, and a whole lot of passion!

‘I’ve evolved as a musician this year … ‘ N, age 18

‘I’m so excited for my track to be released. To be able to say ‘I made that” E, age 22

The programme was funded by Dorset Council and Youth Music.

πŸ”₯ WHAT. A. NIGHT. πŸ”₯
The perfect end to 2025 with the premiere of Ian Gillan & B Sharp: Between Rock and a Hard Place!
Filmed in Nov 2024 by Craig Hooper, the documentary follows a group of lucky B Sharp members as they went behind the scenes with Ian Gillan before Deep Purple’s Birmingham gig β€” meeting the band, crew, and learning about careers in music, ending with VIP concert access! 🎢

The Marine Theatre was packed for the screening, followed by an inspiring Q&A with Ian Gillan, and an outstanding performance from our B Sharp Houseband πŸ”₯

Huge thanks to Ian Gillian, our local supporters, raffle donors, and everyone who came to support B Sharp πŸ’™ Also to all at @marinetheatrelymeregis and our compere, Russ Pearce, you're all amazing, thank you!
