When: Weekly on Tuesday mornings 9:00 am-11:00 am

The Guitar group is for members who can already play acoustic or electric guitars, while the ‘performance’ element of this group: "The Generation Gap" play for charity and private venues. Rehearsals are held weekly, with one selected performance each month.

We are continuing to improve and expand our musical ability. Our continuing focus is to improve our vocal harmonies. Specific roles within the band include:

  • band leader (Brian Donovan),
  • music arranger (Dave Coxhead & Brian Howes),
  • treasurer (Ann Nicholls)
  • group coordinator (Dave Coxhead).

We have to limit the number of performance group members, however any branch member with musical ability is welcome to join our weekly practice sessions. For members who would like to learn basic guitar skills or develop on existing skills should consider joining our ‘Guitar for Beginners’ group.
