Newbury College, in collaboration with Hogan Music, is hosting another educational music workshop on Saturday 10 March. Guest speaker is guitar-legend Ace from 90s rock group Skunk Anansie. Ace will play some of the group's hits, as well as discuss techniques and exercises that guitarists can use to improve their playing.
Ace is best known for his Skunk Anansie hit singles Weak, Selling Jesus, Charity and Hedonsim. The group also had many hit albums including Paranoid & Sunburnt and Stoosh. Ace is a regular writer for Guitarist magazine and a lecturer at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford.
Commenting on the workshop, Mike Barbour, General Manager at Hogan Music, said: This is a unique opportunity for anyone in the Newbury area interested in music to see a phenomenally talented guitarist in action. Whether you are learning to play the guitar or looking to improve your technique, or simply a Skunk Anansie fan, the workshop will be a fun and educational event to attend.
We are absolutely delighted to have Ace's support for our workshop, said Matt Foster, Music Technology course leader at Newbury College. Together with Hogans, we are trying make music education available to a wider audience. This workshop series has already featured The Style Council's drummer Steve White and there is more to follow!
The workshop takes place at Newbury College between 3-6pm and includes a Q&A session at the end. Tickets are available from Hogan Music at a cost of £10 per person. Call 01635 37868.
