Join in on simple songs with guitar, banjo, uke, mandolin or upright bass. Led by Wes Stanton (Folly Brothers). Last Thursday of the month!

Every last Thursday of the month: Our Beginners & Improvers Acoustic Jam session is very much intended for those just discovering the joy that comes from learning to play an instrument, this inclusive play-along is led by Wes Stanton (double bass player with The Folly Brothers) who plays and teaches guitar, clawhammer banjo, ukulele and upright bass.

Whether it’s improving technique, moving from strumming with fingers to using a plectrum, developing a sense of rhythm or training your ear for music, it’s an ideal session. If you have been been learning on your own or with a teacher, but find the prospect of a jam session with lots of highly skilled players a little daunting at this stage of your musical journey, this is for you. The emphasis will be on having a relaxed, fun session, and learning something along the way to take home and practice.

We’ll work through some simple two-chord, three-chord and four-chord songs, and visual aids will be provided. All are welcome, though places are limited, so if you’d like to come along, please register as early as possible. Pay what you like but please do support Temperance by enjoying a selection of snacks and drinks on the day. Bring your instrument and let's get playing!
