ON June 15, Okehampton charity Wren Music will start a series of five free weekly music-making workshops for adults.

The music workshops will be held on Thursday mornings, from 10am until noon in the Ockment Centre in Okehampton.

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

Leading the workshops will be professional musicians Jon Dyer and Dave Rich.

Jon 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. We will be playing repertoire from local folk anthologies, Sabine Baring-Gould and Cecil Sharp.

‘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.’
