A famous London music venue is opening its doors to 15,000 young people, the majority from disadvantaged backgrounds, each year to learn skills, build confidence and make connections to equip them to work in the UK’s creative industries.

The Roundhouse, which hosted Pink Floyd, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, the Sex Pistols, Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Elton John, the Rolling Stones, Patti Smith and Blondie in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, will open its state-of-the-art centre next month.
