Every Friday at 4-6pm. For a fun evening of singing and playing.
Welcome
Welcome to Strings n Things
”Where Hearts Sing and Strings Play!”
Strings n Things is an informal, family friendly group that meets to play, sing, socialise and
develop our musical skills. At our music sessions, group events and performances we have lots
of fun, lots of laughs. We bring live uplifting and joyful music to the local community by playing
at at charity and private events and local pubs. It’s a lovely feeling when you play together and
even nicer when you provide a joy and happiness to others. It was the great Willy Nelson that
said “there is nothing nicer that producing great music, with your friends”.
This group is for anybody who loves to play a musical instrument or likes to sing. You don't have
to sing well or play well; it's a bit of fun, but you'll surprise yourself at how much you will
improve in a short time. There will always be someone to help. Some members play and don’t
sing, others sing but don’t play, it doesn’t matter. None of us are professional musicians or
singers. It's a real pleasure to members progress and the more experienced players display their
talents. You don’t have to read music either, it’s a fun thing.
We are based around Trearddur Bay on Anglesey and currently have about 45 members who
play mostly accustic Guitars and Ukuleles. They are complimented with a
Cajon drum, Bass Guitar, Lead Guitar, Mandolin, Harmonica, Tin whistles,
and mixed Percussion, and of course the all important Kazoo’s. We would
love to have other instruments in the group such as Accordions, a
keyboard, Clarinets, Recorders, Flutes or Violins.
We play any genre of music, ranging from Sea Shanty’s, Folk. 50’s and 60’s,
Skiffle, Gospel, Rock and Roll through to Pop, Country and Blues. We are a
bit light on Classical and punk music though.
“Passion in every chord, joy in every verse”
Join us to play, strum, sing, and be merry! You’d be very welcome, no matter what your skill
levels are. Children who play or sing are very welcome to participate with a parent although
songs often have adult themes.
FEES: We are a non profit group. We each contribute £2 per session, when we meet in the
village hall on Fridays. This pays for the room hire, tea, coffee and biscuits etc., Kazoos ,
Tambourines, Stationary and equipment etc.
WHEN: Our practice sessions are once a week, on a Friday 4:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. We
normally have a short coffee break at 5pm. Afterwards the session, some of us drift off to
the Driftwood to enjoy a swift ‘alf and a good chat with musical friends. Monday nights we
play in local pubs. We also provide various performances around the community which
will be vary in times and duration.
WHERE: Trearddur Bay, Village Hall, (see the ABOUT page for maps and post code). For all
