Centre 70 Workshops and Jam Sessions

Bring your instruments and be part of BunkFest.

Now an established part of the festival fringe, Centre 70, next to the KineCroft, will be packed with all manner of workshops and jam sessions from the Friday evening though Sunday.

  • There is no advance booking — just turn up on the day. We are asking for a small donation of £5 for each workshop which helps to pay professional tutors and session organisers.
  • Feed back/suggestion: are there any sessions or workshops you would like to see then let us know?

For the first time the Friday night will aim to provide the opportunity for those early birds who have bought their instruments and are looking for a session to join in with. Themes could include 12 Bar Blues, Ukulele Slow jam, American Old Time or from Guthrie to Dylan.

Download classes below, tell your friends, turn up early to avoid standing only and donate through your phone using the QR codes which will help us with what to put on next year.
