Free ukulele tuition and performance opportunities for everyone
The scheme has been running since June 2018 at Bognor Youth & Community Centre in Westloats Lane and provides free ukulele tuition and performance opportunities for everyone, but in particular providing a valuable vehicle to help combat social isolation amongst older participants.
Roger Nash, from Southdowns Folk Festival, said: “We have been delighted with the continued success of this programme. The first Bognor Regis session for 2020 takes place on Wednesday, January 15, 10.30am at the Westloats Lane Youth & Community Centre. Then, new for 2020, Making Your Mark expands into Selsey with the first session happening on Tuesday, January 21, 10.30am at The Selsey Club in Coxes Road.”
