Amplify - Good Time Locomotive / Ultraviolet

Amplify new music nights are events dedicated to showcasing and supporting up-and-coming musicians. They provide a platform for artists to perform their original music and gain exposure to a wider audience. GOOD TIME LOCOMOTIVE Good Time Locomotive (GTL) are a London-based alt pop/rock band blending shimmering synths, funky bass, glistening guitar, driving drums and heartfelt vocals to create emotion-packed music about identity, hope and resilience. Influenced by The 1975 and Don Broco, GTL fuse the spirit of the 80s/90s with a modern edge, connecting across generations both live and on record. Working with Grammy-winning producer Adrian Bushby (Foo Fighters, Muse), they’ve refined their sound without losing their DIY roots. With new music monthly, strong social media engagement and high-energy shows, GTL is fast becoming a rising force in the UK and beyond. ULTRAVIOLET ULTRAVIOLET formed almost two years ago, in January 2024, at Monks Walk School in Welwyn Garden City. We’re an all female Indie/Rock band made up of four classmates who all share a love for music. Over the last two years we have performed at many of our schools’ music events and concerts, most recently winning our category at House Music.

Drawing Seahorses Workshop (Age 8+) – Summer Holiday Workshops

Drawing Seahorses – Get into the holiday spirit with our exciting workshop tailored for young artists aged 8 and up, with a focus on the gentle sea horse. We’ll start with some warm-up exercises to get our hands moving and our minds focused, before diving into the beautiful world of sea horses. Sea horses are tiny uniquely shaped marine fish named for their horse-lile heads and bend necks. They are renowned for their upright swimming posture, prehensile tails, and lack of scales, utilizing rigid bony plates for armour. First, Lucy will guide you as you complete a technical drawing of a seahorse, sharing her tips on how to add tone to make your art truly come alive. She’ll also provide a helpful recap on using graphite pencils to create amazing effects that enhance your drawings.Next, we’ll shift our focus to real-life images, where you’ll learn to capture the essence of your subjects using vibrant chalk pastels and colouring pencils. This workshop strikes the perfect balance between creativity and technical skill, making it a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to improve their drawing abilities while exploring summer-inspired themes. Join us for a fun and inspiring artistic experience! Lucy says “Art has always been one of my passions. I studied it at Hertford Regional College, where I discovered how much I loved the process of drawing — really looking at something and capturing its form on paper.
