Our big aim is to bring all sorts of young musicians together (trained or not) to experiment with sound and explore their love of music : all the music we play is original, new, and improvised - the shared product of a group of people.
Our core team and some volunteers have a range of learning disabilities and we believe, if things are right for them, then they're right for all of us.
To help us run our project, we have some partner organisations.
These are : Wells Cathedral School; Spaeda; Elmwood and Penrose Schools Federation in Bridgwater; and the Somerset Rural Youth Project (SRYP).
All of these partners are valuable to our work - they provide information, support, networks, help with recruitment, venues - and workshops too.
Tonight James Brookes from SRYP is bringing a team from his Rural Music Network, along with several drum kits, to lead a rhythm workshop.
They've been running kit sessions in Shepton Mallet and Castle Cary, and want to share what they do.
We're looking forward to this - a different way to play ourselves into the Easter break.
Last time James came to work with us it was awesome.... everyone enjoys to try something entirely new, and meet new people.
Let's hope there will be enough mini eggs to go round.
