WREN Music will start a series of four free weekly music-making workshops for adults this April.

The sessions will be held on Tuesday mornings from April 19, from 10am to noon in the Ockment Centre. 

These Make Music sessions have been specially designed to appeal to people of all abilities and all ages from 16 upward and will bring together people from all parts of Okehampton’s community.

The group, led by professional musician David Faulkner, will perform at Okehampton Castle on Bluebell Sunday, May 15.

David said: ‘We always like to have a lot of fun. We’ll do lots of playing, making bands, singing songs and even writing new ones. These sessions will have a bit of a mediaeval feel to them, as we will be performing up at the castle on Bluebell Sunday, perhaps we’ll even do a bit of mediaeval dancing.

‘At the weekly sessions we will provide a wide variety of musical instruments for people to use, including guitars, fiddles, squeeze boxes and drums etc. No previous musical experience is necessary for you to join in. You just need some enthusiasm and a willingness to have a go. If you have your own instrument you can bring that along too.’
