Percussion with Hay Music

 It's going to be a busy Saturday for Hay Music at the end of August.

In the morning, from 11am at the Globe, is Shake, Rattle and Bash, a workshop for children from eight upwards.  It costs £7.50 for an hour's session, and they will be making music to accompany the story Chico's Big Day Out.

Then in the afternoon, from 2pm, there's the adult session, Samba for Grown-ups, which will last 90 minutes and cost £10.  You can learn all about the different instruments used in samba bands, and they might even have a second workshop if there is enough interest.

And in the evening, also at the Globe at 8pm, is Travels with my Marimba.  Tickets are £10 or £5 for the under-25s.

In this talk, Chris Brannick and his friend Jackie Mann, who were running the daytime sessions, will be recounting tales and anecdotes from around the world, with a selection of percussion instruments from around the world.  In a career that has spanned 30 years and working for the BBC Proms among other things, there'll be a lot to talk about.
