Shirley Acoustic Guitar Club is for anyone who has an interest in acoustic guitar music. Whether an accomplished musician or a beginner,all are welcome.
All styles are played at the club,including classical,folk,pop,jazz. On most club nights there is an opportunity for each member to perform something,but don’t worry,it’s not compulsory! Usually there is a theme,but you do not have to stick to it. Some members write and perform their own songs,while others like to practice their style and technique.
Some club nights consists of a workshop followed by performances. Workshops can be theory or practice,eg:
Making guitars
Learning jazz chords
Slide guitar technique
Flatpicking
Sometimes a whole club night will be given over to a special guest who has agreed to perform for the club.
The best thing to do is come along and find out for yourself. Either turn up on one of the club nights,or contact us for more information. If you are a non-player,but still interested to see what goes on,then please come along too.
Please note that you must be 16 years or older.
