Young musician locks to rock for charity!
The album, ‘How To Mend A Broken Pier’, named after Brighton’s crumbling West Pier, will include 14 of the rock and roll college’s best new talent with all proceeds going to charity. Solo artists and bands were chosen after a tough selection process by a professional music panel including Ian Ramage – managing director of BMG Music Publishing.

Sarah Clayman, former Sony international promotions manager and BIMM director, said: “Making this album have given artists the kind of experience that most young musicians can only dream of. The students have been able to shine in a truly professional environment and work with some of the leading people in the music industry.

“Our aim at BIMM is to give students the best possible start in the music industry, helping them develop and become successful professional musicians when they leave us. The college’s album speaks for itself – our students are career-ready when they start in the industry and act like professionals from the outset because of the unique experiences they’ve had at the college.”

The album will be sold in aid of charity with all proceeds going to the Nordoff Robins Music Therapy Centre – a professional music therapy centre for adults and children with a wide range of needs, and the Rocking Horse Appeal – a local charity that raises funds to purchase specialist medical equipment for The Royal Alexandra Hospital for sick children in Sussex.
