Cigar box guitar players' workshops in the Midlands

Hi good people, I've been asked by a couple of people about doing some players' workshops, and I'm I've now organised something. If you fancy the idea of getting started, learning the basics or developing your playing, get in touch or post on here.

Numbers are coming in nicely, and I've booked the local church hall...so I'm having to charge £10 a head to cover the cost.

The date is Saturday 28th July, 1.00- 4.00 pm, at St Gregory's Church Hall, Bearwood, West Midlands

It's much more fun learning in a group rather than individually, but don't be worried about embarrassing yourself in front of others with your playing, it's supposed to be fun and the whole idea is to be supportive and generally encouraging.

If anyone else further afield fancies the idea, I'm happy to travel as long as I can cover the cost of my diesel....just let me know. I'm already booked for a 'make and play' day in Twickenham on 14th October, but providing the numbers stack up, I'll try and make things happen for you wherever you are.

OK guys, another couple of people and we can get things rolling. Anyone got preferences for days/times, or days/times that you can't make it?

... and what about the Guildford area area. Any posh pluckers out there?

I'm doing a cigarbox making & playing workshop on 14th October in Twickenham, then opening for Brooks Williams in the evening at TwickFolk at The Cabbage Patch Pub...getting a bit closer to your patch?

Apart from the Upton weekend and August 12th (Cambridge Fest) I'm pretty flexible too...
