WHAT'S ON FOR FAMILIES
Rock The Ages
8, 9 or 12 April
1.30pm-4pm
Pre-booking essential
Bring your own instruments for a jam session with a difference, as we take a whistle-stop tour of musical styles from the last 70 years.
Find out what made punks rock and cultures clash as we skiffle through the decades, learning some new techniques and ending in the ultimate battle of the bands.
What to expect
Don’t get stage fright! We’re not expecting a ready-made Keith Richards. This is all about learning from the greats and helping you hone your skills.
We’ll provide the basics (drums, mics) and some not so basics (Theremin, skiffle board). You bring your own instruments* or just some enthusiasm!
Email families@britishmusicexperience.com for more information and a booking form.
