It launched in May 2013 with the primary aim of providing a platform for original music and supporting and encouraging local musicians. The group stages regular monthly New Music Nights in Reigate, arranges acts to perform at other local events and, since 2014, has put on New Music Fest – a 24-hour open-air summer festival held at Reigate Rugby Club. The Music Summer School is run with the support of New Music Nights. The over-riding aim of both parties is to enthuse a new generation with a passion for creating original music.
