The club play for fun and perform occasionally at local events so there’s something for everyone. If you are interested just come along on Thursday evenings from 7pm.

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.
Core Music 2nd Birthday Celebrations
We had a fantastic day last Saturday (9th October) celebrating our birthday.
Local folk band Clockwork entertained the crowds at the Farmer’s Market and later on outside Waitrose.
Our very own Ukuteers ukulele band performed for the shoppers at Tesco whilst George Hutton and his Jazz Jammers gave a great show outside the Wentworth Leisure Centre.
In the meantime, 25 local independent shops and Farmer’s Market Stalls took part in our fabulous competitions – The Egg Shaker Draw and The Scavenger Hunt. All prizes were claimed and/or won during the day so a huge thank you to everyone who took part.
The winner of the first prize in the Scavenger Hunt was Aiden Manns – here seen being presented with his prize at Core Music by Chair, Simon Eedle.
In the afternoon at Core Music we hosted a Harmonica workshop attended by 24 eager participants who were treated to a fabulous two hours in the company of harmonica virtuosos Martin Fletcher, Lyndon Anderson and Brian Lynam.
