TUESDAY 13th MARCH, 2012

The Anglesey Arms Hotel , Menai Bridge 7.45pm

A warm welcome to all players (and non players) of any standard - classical, flamenco, slide, blues etc - whatever your interest you will be welcome.

At our meeetings we have a selection of books containing manuscript or tablature, wide variety of guitar magazines, cd's  and dvd's for you to browse through or to borrow if you so wish.

We generally start with a 5 minute 'welcome greeting' from Jane and Dave - sometimes we discuss 'guitarry' matters . . .ranging from problems encountered (relating to guitars only!!) to who is playing what  - where and when - open for all to contribute to!  This is followed by the chance  in which you can either join in with ensemble, play solo in a 'quiet' corner somewhere, join in with other players of varying styles, browse through the selection of books or simply chat and relax with others - taking in the sound of different styles! 

After an hour (ish) - we reassemble as a group where you can have the opportunity to perform infront of everyone (on average - there are 22 (ish) people present) There is no pressure to play - so please do not be put off by this 'session' - just sit and listen to others! However . . . if your excuse is that you can't play because you have left your guitar at home - I always take a spare for you to use!!!!!!!  
To finish the evening - we have a little 'jam' session.
At the moment Django Reinhardt style is going down very well . . . Neil very kindly arranges this to suit all styles and capabilities of guitar playing, providing chords/chord shapes/manuscript and tab, this is then sent to everyone  before the meeting. If, however, you prefer to improvise in your own style - this too is very welcome . . . again, no pressure to join in - it is just a fun way of ending the evening!                                                

Carlo Errico, a luthier from Wrexham, will also attend with a selection of his hand crafted guitars - he will allow players to try his instruments and will answer any questions. 

WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU
