The Big Strum — ukulele community orchestra

4pm–4.30pm | Zoom & Facebook Live | Free

Revoluton Arts in partnership with The Mix Luton present … The Big Strum — for all ages

Join Phil and Adam for weekly workshops in ukulele so that you can play like a pro!

This week we will learn a Bob Dylan classic and use our newfound single-note-skills to add an interesting intro.

Where to get a ukulele

We're working with and through local community groups to supply ukuleles to those that might not be able to afford it so contact info@revolutonarts.com if you have a group that you would like to nominate.

If you don’t have a ukulele you can still order and have delivered one from Chamberlain Music.

Keep fit and dance during lockdown with Bruce Carson, member of street dance crew KNE who were semi-finalists of Britain's Got Talent 2019! Bruce will teach you the dance styles and routes in breaking, street and contemporary.

This event runs on Zoom which is a private virtual 'room' where you can all see each other and Bruce will be able to give you pointers on your technique — or you can choose to have your camera switched off if you prefer.
