As a group we play mainly acoustic instruments hence our name. We welcome players of any instrument, wind, string, free reed etc. If you are not sure, please contact the group leader who will be happy to discuss possibilities with you.
We play music in a variety of genres including folk, classical, pop, jazz and our aim is to enjoy playing together and trying out ideas to make enjoyable arrangements with the selection of instruments we have at any time. We are essentially an instrumental group but have been known to sing on occasions.
The current group membership includes guitar, recorder, flute, clarinet, mandolin, harmonica and electronic keyboard. We would love to have players of other instruments join us.
The ethos of the group is to get together, and enjoy playing together. The expertise within the group is varied, and we help each other in any submissions made to the group for playing, with an emphasis on enjoyment, but also improvement, and learning new skills.
