Neil and Mike from Rock Cottage are running a new group within the village, initially this is aimed at learning to play the Ukulele.

Anyone and everyone are welcome to come, learn, join in, or add something to those starting out playing an instrument, likewise if you’re at a loose end, then come along for a coffee and chat, worth noting we do have spare instruments knocking around, so even if you just want to try something then please pop along.
