To provide Redditch and the surrounding areas with professional performing/recording space for all groups and entities at an affordable cost
The PDC's aim is to provide to the town of Redditch and the surrounding areas a multi purpose live performance space with a fully sound proof recording studio within the Kingfisher Shopping Centre. This will provide arts, community and corporate businesses with an affordable space for concerts, performances and conferences. This venue will also enhance the PDC charity in growing it’s objective;
'The advancement and appreciation and education in the art of music for the public benefit in the West Midlands and surrounding areas through the provision of drumming and musical recreation facilities, events, workshops, concerts, recitals, demonstrations and lessons.'
The Cave will be live Performance Space that will have a max capacity of 150 people and a large modern recording studio to the rear of the unit. A reception area where a ticket office and a bar will be situated. Frontage where people can meet and will have the option to eat in the neighboring restaurants. This has been a project is in demand by the community of Redditch due to the lack of performance venues, many of which has closed down over the last couple of years. This hasn't been possible until now, with the combine efforts of the Kingfisher Shopping Centre and the PDC, the town of Redditch hopefully can have a live performance venue that'll fit into the needs and purpose of the town that will compliment the Palace Theatre.
Due to the nature of this project, the PDC needs to be able to raise £26,000 to make this happen. Once the money has been raised then the project will start and a few months later, The Cave will be open for business. If the project doesn't receive the funding needed, team Redditch will lose another potential hub for the community to perform.
The Palace Drum Clinic (PDC) is the leading drumming club, based in Redditch, that puts on incredible events in the UK. From the monthly PDClinics to the annual drumming weekend, the PDCamp, you will be inspired and learn with world class drummers/percussionists. With online videos and interviews, and the membership via the PDC App, we’ll make sure you will ‘Be part of Drumming Royalty’. Alongside the events, the PDC is focused on providing educational workshops and masterclasses to schools/organisations and individual lessons to inspire the next generation of musicians.
