Bloggity Blog
Welcome to the blog! The Page Formerly Known as ‘News’ will be getting a lot more exciting – as well as updates on what’s happening at Core we’re going to be bringing you a mix of funny stories, photos and videos, and interesting research on all things musical.
We love being part of Core, and we want you to feel part of it too, so we’re going to have regular interviews with the team, and tell you what we all get up to with “Day in the Life” segments… though for most of the staff it’ll consist of “Tea, play guitar, coffee, more tea, more guitar!”
Aaaaaaand we’ll have news and reviews of local gigs and bands, so if you’ve seen any bands recently and want to comment, or there’s any gigs you’re looking forward to, let us know at evelyn@coremusic.co.uk. So here’s to the Core Music Blog – we hope you enjoy it!

A photo journal of summer workshops 2011
We have had a busy summer this year! from Jazz to Ukulele to percussion!
Here is just a snapshot of what’s been going on.
Here Tim Steemson is guiding our budding Jazz musicians. As part of our Cool Jazz week of workshops we really had the guys scratching their heads by the end of the week!
Ian Allan (2nd from the left) gave our interested beginners their first taste of the ukulele. This was part of our lunch time taster week way back at the end of spring.
George Hutton and James Clark ran a fun afternoon of percussion activities before George teamed up with Tim Steemson for a full week of Percussion workshops.
