Square 1 is a community recording studio that provides training, services and facilities to young people, communities and local artists in Oldham and surrounding areas. We specialise in working with young people and disadvantaged communities through music - developing their skills and confidence whilst providing long term opportunities for individuals who are serious about a future in music including creative and digital media production.
We aim to be a one stop studio providing creative services (multi arts-based) for communities and individuals providing a mix of services, opportunities and a platform for artistic development and personal growth.
We provide projects, after school tuition for young people and also deliver much needed outreach work within the community.
