The Core Music Rock Foundation
This 8 week course is designed to bring out the musician (or rock star) within.
You’ve been playing for a little while, you’ve got the basics and now it’s time to take it to the next level. You will learn to play in a rock band, how to perform on stage and how to make the most of your musicianship.
At the end of the course we will be holding a performance at a top local venue for you to show the skills you have learnt to your friends and family.
Get ready to rock…
Now taking bookings for the next course – Starting April 2012

Spooky Men’s Chorale
Be very afraid. The notorious Spooky Men’s Chorale returns to the UK in July 2011 for one more tilt at the windmill of impossible masculine musico-foolishness.
Friday 19th August
Queen Elizabeth High School, Hexham
8pm
Supported by Kate Rowe
Last time they were here, in 2009, the Spookies packed out Corbridge Middle School, so book now if you don’t want to miss out!
They’re also holding a workshop before the show, from 5-6pm, so book a place for that if you want to sing with the Spooky Men!
