The Village Guitar Acoustic Players' Group is set up for lovers of wooden music to get together to talk, listen, learn and play.

We get together and talk technique (technique, profiling an artist's style), technical (maintenance, repair, profiling a product) and playing (jamming, presenting a song, featuring an artist).

We meet monthly at Village Guitar at Penshurst. The next meeting will be on Wednesday, March 24, starting at 8.00pm. Love to have you along.
