The Shuttle Shuffle Festival is in support of the charity Piece Project.
Everyone’s involvement, from the festival committee, to the bands playing, are doing so on a voluntary basis for this fantastic cause. The wealth of knowledge and experience between all the committee and event organisers combined can only be described as a musical and cultural fountain of creativity. The Yorkshire Gig Guide, The Topic Folk Club, Eclectic Rhythm, Factory St. Studios and Piece Project are the mountains that the creative water runs through feeding this unique and creative fountain.

Piece Project’s mission is to encourage music to be made and shared for all to enjoy. “I feel challenged as a musician as I was given the role of leadership as one of the few with an earpiece.” Piece Project has been established to help develop music and arts related activities that support social, creative and economic development. The organisation aims to create life enhancing music experiences to the community and widen participation in the most disadvantaged communities. Piece Project is developing to become a regional music and arts educational CIC which can provide subsidised rehearsal space for musicians, offer training, educational support packages, mentoring, industry workshops, work placements, advice, guidance and exciting educational music projects for all. Objectives: 1) To identify needs and opportunities for music related projects that will support community development and regeneration. 2) To develop projects that widen participation in music for the most disadvantaged communities and individuals. 3) To promote music as a tool for community development, community cohesion and regeneration.
What does Piece Project currently deliver:
1) Piece Project hosts an established Jam Session for all ages and abilities which offers a safe and supportive environment for people to meet others; collaborate and improvise. 2) Piece Project and Factory St. Studios partner with Yorkshire Gig Guide to offer Open Mic Nights for young people and adults which offer safe and supportive performance opportunities. 3) Work with young people aged 7 – 24 running Band Club, regular supportive workshops for young people on the Autism Spectrum, Aspergers and SocialEmotional Delays. The project aims to develop greater emotional literacy, improve confidence, health and well-being. 4) Bradford’s Music and Arts Festival The Shuttle Shuffle for the local community.
Who are we? Piece Project is run by a committee made up of people with interests in music, dj’s, youth workers, mental health/disabilities professionals and representatives from community based grass roots music organisations. All are interested in community development and regeneration.

Topic Folk Club The Topic Folk Club was founded in 1956 by Alex Eaton, once he had left the local Young Communist League choir and some friends. It was the height of the Cold War, with Suez and the Hungarian Uprising dominating the headlines. From its very beginnings as a fairly informal opportunity for like-minded youths to get together and talk politics and sing. Up to its current policy of around two-thirds guest acts, The Topic was always and remains now a weekly club. The Topic continues to present artists from the locality, the UK, and the rest of the world in its quest to provide top-quality live acoustic music in a concert setting in Bradford.

600 Bradford Musicians Performance at The Royal Albert Hall We took 9 young people from the local community to perform at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
Music for Youth commissioned composer and multi-instrumentalist Joe Broughton to create a
genre-defying, educationally and artistically inspiring piece that reflected the multitude of cultures represented in Bradford and the surrounding area. There are four sections to Strength in Numbers. All of the themes were inspired by the individual characters in this huge band and in each rhythm and scale you will hear the unique fusion that is this group of young people on stage together just for today. To enjoy the ‘jaw dropping performance ‘ of the Vivendi Bradford Massed Ensemble at Schools Prom 2012 at the Royal Albert Hall please visit: http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=E5DfS8qn7rk
“ I hope for the future to continue with my music, widen my knowledge and gain more experience, similarly building my confidence. Hopefully to perform at similar events, even repeat this project again if given the opportunity.”
“ Playing in this group has developed my ensemble skills”
The musicians took part in a series of rehearsals with other musicians from across the district involving Bradford Music and Arts Service, secondary school, 3 music services and community organisations.
