Stevie G is hosting a free workshop on DJ culture for Cork teens
Got a young music afficionado in your house?
Cork DJ and radio presenter Stevie G is bringing his brilliant New School platform to the City Library at the end of the month to empower young people through music and the arts.
These free workshops for teenagers aged between 14 and 17, run in collaboration with the Rory Gallagher Music Library, will encompass an introduction into DJ culture and music production.
The workshop will start with a quick run through the history of hip-hop and dance, before he shows youngsters some of the basics about mixing and remixing.

This will lead to some music production, and it is hoped the teenagers will get involved and help build a track live on the day. It’s more of an introduction than a masterclass, and it is hoped it will be the first of many such workshops in Cork City Library.
Already, youngsters from a culturally diverse background in Cork have contributed to some of the educational videos that have been shared on the New School social media, and Stevie is currently creating an audio/visual documentary on hip-hop culture with these kids.
Collaborations have begun with the Living Commons/Radical Institute/Sample Studios/Test Site/Magic Nights by the Lee/Marina Market/Cork Life Centre and other partners, and Stevie is also developing the New School in many of his workshops with Foroige and other bodies.
The next workshop for teens aged between 14 and 17 will take place at the City Library on Grand Parade on Saturday, March 29th (11am – 12:30pm). You can reserve a free spot here.
