Ria Robinson

Ria Robinson is a Darlington-based musician, drummer and singer with a long connection to The Forum Music Centre and the wider North East live circuit. Her background includes more than a decade of band work, school pit-band performances, drum teaching, studio sessions and function-band shows around the region.

She has recorded with Chris Davison, worked in the SSL studio at ACM Guildford and appeared on The Forum Music Studios’ Songclub Unmasked project, including Love Potion with Lucy Walker and Gotta Get Out with James Appleton and Harvey Sugden. That mix of drumming, singing and collaborative songwriting gives her musical life a much broader shape than one role alone.

Robinson also hosts The Forum Open Jam in Darlington, giving musicians of different ages and experience levels a regular chance to get on stage and play together. That community role sits naturally alongside her own experience and makes her part of the infrastructure helping keep the town’s grassroots scene active.
