UPDATE September 2023: Workshops will be made available soon sometime during Autumn and Winter.  We are currently organising available venues in and around Birmingham. 

Make your own 3 string guitar and learn how play in a day. With over 3000 guitars made in our "Make and Play" workshops, these events are always popular and always fun, so early booking is advised.

Learn to play cigar box guitar. There are a variety of courses - 1/2 day beginners and intermediate classes, and also learn to play courses with myself and the legendary Hollowbelly.
