Group Leader is Ian Moss

The Bluegrass Music Group is where banjo, fiddle, guitar, mandolin, ukulele and harmonica players meet to play Bluegrass, Country, Irish and Skiffle music.

We aim to make this a ‘proper’ jamming session and soloists can be drowned out by too many other instruments and we may have to limit attendance.

A knowledge of jamming etiquette would also be very useful (i.e. knowing when to play softly in the background when others are taking a solo break and to be able to recognise the signals from the lead player/singer when the tune is to end etc.).

The music we enjoy will give us lots of material to learn and a fantastic and fun way to progress with our instruments.

Access to the music tabs will be via dropbox and you’ll be encouraged to use a tablet although we will have some hard copies available for new members to try.

We meet in Alford Hall Sports & Social Club, Manchester Road, WA1 3NJ on alternate Wednesday afternoons from 1.00 – 3.30pm.
