A NEW initiative has been launched to give young musicians a chance to improve their rock/pop talents.

Local rock band Q14 wants to mentor you for free if you’re in a band or a musician, through the Youth Music Mentorship Initiative, funded by Kerry County Council and the Arts Council, offered as part of the Kerry Take Note Music Project (www.kerrytakenote.ie)

The mentorship gives young musicians, singers or songwriters the opportunity to improve their standards of pop music performance.

If you, or someone you know is interested, please email Caroline Lynch at Kerry County Council Arts Office (arts@kerrycoco.ie) with an expression of interest and a link to your music.

The deadline is 5pm on Friday December 18.
