Event Description

Make a 3 string "cigar box guitar" with THE GODFATHER!!

I provide everything...parts, materials, tools and the know-how...you even get a free slide, and we finish off the afternoon with a lesson on how to play. You take home an instrument that you've made with your own hands....and it's fitted with a pickup, so you can even plug it into an amp to amaze your friends and family and annoy your neighbours!!!

All this for only £50. Over 1000 satisfied customers, no musical or woodworking experience needed...no tricks, no unpleasant bending, no salesman will call, satisfaction guaranteed...as supplied to the crowned heads of Europe...errr..well maybe not that last bit, but it's a great fun day...join the Handmade Music Revolution, comrades!!

The workshop is part of the Vintage and Retro Festival, so there will be music, dance, fashion, stalls selling retro chic, vintage cars and bikes - and there will be a genuine daredevil motorcycle "Wall of Death"!!!

TICKETS FOR THIS EVENT ARE NOW SOLD-OUT
