Music Video Night + Live Gig

A night of the best new Music Videos on the big screen with a live gig from the Young Musicians Project!
We’re heading back to POP RECS on Wednesday 18th of October for another night of sharing the best new Music Videos on the big screen. The venue has become a fantastic community hub with one of the best venue spaces and cafes in the city and we can’t wait to be back for Sunderland Shorts 2023.
We’re also delighted to once again be joined by acts from the Young Musicians Project who will be performing a set between the 2 screenings. YMP has grown to become one of Sunderland’s most popular and prolific music groups, with young local talent of an ever-growing pedigree already under their belt. This collaboration provides a great way for sharing the great work and creativity happening in the local film and music communities.
