  • Musicians wanted

    AliceA By AliceA 4th October 10

    We are looking for talented young musicians who would like to join in music and songwriting workshops and write some new pieces to celebrate the Waterways (that’s canals and rivers to you and me) with Tom Kitching fiddle player and canal enthusiast extraordinaire, and renowned Singer-songwriter Gren Bartley. You can work as a soloist, as an existing band, or create a new act with other volunteers – this will be a great opportunity to meet other musicians and swap ideas. 

    The workshops start from the beginning of February and will finish with a  performance evening between April 22nd – 24th at the National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port.

    This is not a beginners course – You should already be able to play or sing to a basic standard, though you don’t need to have done grades. A basic understanding of music theory OR the ability to learn by ear would be useful.

    If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact Simon Colderley or Hazel Mayow on 0151 373 4392, or email simon.colderley@thewaterwaystrust.co.uk  hazel.mayow@thewaterwaystrust.co.uk
