Flotsam Sessions in Catford Mews!

Excited to announce our new collaboration with Catford Mews in Lewisham. After a wonderful workshop and jam session in July, learning a Colombian song with Jenny Parra, and participants sharing music from all across the world, Flotsam Sessions will be running in Catford Mews every second Thursday of the month from September 2021.

Our sessions are free and open to all members of the community, bringing together people from diverse backgrounds and experiences to share and learn music together, to build friendship and have a lovely time! We learn songs from different cultures of the world, in peer-to-peer workshops, jam sessions and song sharings. 🌻🍁
