Music for all our community
This is a truly wonderful series of guitar sessions run by the Talented Ben. Ben is incredibly knowledgeable and will share this and his enthusiasm with you. No musical knowledge is required for this, Ben will teach you everything to get you started on playing along to the songs you love (or writing your own).
This is a no pressure environment so you only need to progress at your own speed.
