EXILE ON BRUCE STREET

Exile On Bruce Street is a community rock and roll band aimed at non-professional musicians who have lost touch with their instruments.  It’s about getting off your screens, playing music together, meeting new people, improving your skills, bringing joy. It’s for everyone who might have a dusty drum kit in the garage; an untuned Telecaster in the shed; a sad bass guitar, sitting lonely on the corner begging to be picked up again; a voice heard in the shower, but not in public for a while.   

 The band will be led by participatory artist Ian Pidd (The Falls, Dark MOFO, The Big Lost Band, SWING, Wanderer Festival), with a team of very cheerful musician/teachers who can take the most unpractised musician and have them sounding like they belong in AC\DC in no time.  Truly!  Repertoire will be bangers from across the eras. This project is aimed at getting adults back in touch with their creative selves, but young people and kids are very, very welcome.
