Family Workshop: Jim Jam Jug Band 29 Jan 2017

A jug band is a type of traditional folk band from America where at least one member of the band plays music using a jug! On this side of the world they are sometimes called Skiffle bands. Other instruments in a jug band are often made from objects you might recognise from around the house too including: a suitcase bass drum, spoons, washboards played with thimbles, a washtub bass and pizza box percussion.

Join us for what promises to be a really fun family workshop and enjoy the chance to play these enjoyable and easy instruments together as a family! As well as all the household objects there’ll also be other instruments such as ukulele, kazoos and harmonica as well as lots of singing for all. At the end of the workshop the whole workshop group will perform together for friends or other family members to enjoy.

Suitable for all levels of music experience including beginners.
