Bela Emerson, Amy Hill

The Brunswick’s art deco upstairs rooms play host to a new all-abilities songwriting and soundmaking music session in March.

Facilitators Amy Hill and Bela Emerson set up This Is Our Place to coax local music-makers out of their bedrooms to play and write music together.

This three-hour session will be fun as well as instructive, giving people the chance to try out some new musical techniques and share ideas. The theme of the workshop is ‘making music from the places we love’; in addition to playing conventional instruments or singing, workshop participants will incorporate recordings of the area and other unusual sounds.

Participants will leave with a CD of the music they’ve made together - and also some new friends to make music with!

All abilities are welcome: no previous experience of playing or performing is necessary, though participants are welcome to bring an instrument.
