SRC music students go global with breakthrough Berlin tour
Music students from the Southern Regional College’s Creative Music and Audio Production Foundation Degree have just completed a transformative four-day international tour to Berlin, showcasing original music, stunning performances, and creative ambition on a global stage.
The fabulous tour featured performances and creative projects by three emerging artists - The Magic, Discworld, and Saran - who took the German capital by storm.
At the heart of the tour was an exclusive recording session at the world-renowned concert and event venue, Funkhaus Berlin, in collaboration with creative partners Catalyst Institute for Creative Arts & Technology, as part of The Magic’s upcoming ‘Live in Berlin’ film series.
Saran and their band delivered a powerful live set at the iconic Speiches Rock and Blues Bar, captivating the Berlin crowd and earning a well-deserved encore. Meanwhile, Discworld turned the streets of Berlin into a film set, shooting a music video at the legendary Teufelsberg Radio Towers.
This immersive project was made possible by the students’ own dedication. Over eight months, they made waves by raising more than £4,500 through a series of lunchtime gigs and full-scale events, putting on over 10 live shows throughout the year.
The tour stands as a testament to SRC’s commitment to real-world creative development through its Creative Music and Audio Production Foundation Degree - a forward-thinking programme that puts students at the centre of the music industry.
The project was proudly supported by local businesses, whose sponsorship helped bring this unforgettable journey to life.
The bands were accompanied by SRC lecturers Paddy Craig and Matt Duke who have been present throughout guiding these young artists on this incredible journey.
