Music Makers
This group, started May 2022, is only open to current Members of the Belper and District u3a.
During the life of the group we have attracted quite a number of guitarists and we now have to accept that no further guitarists are required.
However we would very much like to extend our membership by attracting a female singer(s) and a percussionist to add an extra dimension to the songs we cover in the folk/country/pop/blues genres. Bring with you your personal preferences or simply join in with what we cover.
The group is made up of mixed abilities, primarily on guitar (acoustic and electric) but we also have a keyboard player, accordianist, fiddlers/violinists and a members able to play a variety of woodwind instruments, mandolin and harmonica.
It is not intended to cover classical music or music from musicals but tending more towards blues, folk and country styles.
We currently meet once a week, Mondays, 7:00 'till 9:00pm, at Strutts, finishing the evening in a local pub for those in need of refreshment.
If there is anybody out there that feels they could write lyrics that we could possibly put music to, all the better...next Xmas Number 1?
Personally, in terms of ability, I am currently restricted to playing guitar, and I’m not overly proficient at that, but I am learning and - hopefully- improving. Additionally it would be nice to have other instruments involved, for example G banjo, mandolin, ukele and harmonica.
