I'm really pleased to announce the 1st of my make and play CBG workshop right here in Penrith. All tools/materials/slides and tutoring are provided, just turn up, and wear something you don't mind getting a bit dusty! 

Event runs 10am-1pm, the first half of our session we'll be putting a CBG together using a genuine cigar box! Second half will be an introduction to slide playing and getting used to your new instrument!

Location:  Blue Jam Arts Space, Mostyn Hall, 13 Friargate, Penrith CA11 7XR

The blue jam arts space is a wonderful venue right in the heart of Penrith. There is ample parking for the folk on the day. If arriving by train etc, it is a short walk into town or short ride from the train station. 

Brews will be provided, feel free to bring a packed lunch though, however a local bakery isn't too far away though(sounds nice doesn't it?). 

Due to woodworking and use of sharp tools, the event is restricted, we ask anyone 14+ for permission and then to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. (Please get them to drop an email before purchasing, normal ticket price applies to each individual.)

We will be making an entry level electro acoustic CBG with piezo pickup ready to annoy the neighbours!

Due to the venue location there are certain limits with accessibility, please reach out beforehand to me if this would affect you so we can sort something out where possible.
