Ilkley Strummers Club: Acoustic Music Group in Ilkley
Are you looking for local music groups and jam sessions in Ilkley? I'm delighted to announce the brand new Ilkley Strummers Club, bringing together music lovers from across our vibrant local community. We are a friendly and supportive community music ensemble aimed at Beginner and Improver players of Ukulele, Acoustic Guitar and Mandolin. Singing is very much welcome but not compulsory!
The Philosophy
We believe that making music together should be both enjoyable and encouraging, creating an environment where everyone can grow at their own pace. Music is carefully chosen for musicians just beginning their band journey or improving players, ensuring that everyone can participate meaningfully from day one.
What to Expect
Each group session combines structured learning with the pure joy of playing together. We focus on popular songs arranged specifically for our ensemble, making them accessible while maintaining their musical essence. Our repertoire spans decades of beloved music, from folk and country classics to contemporary pop hits.
Who Can Join?
We welcome players of Acoustic Guitar, Ukulele (including baritone) and Mandolin to join this local music group in Ilkley. A knowledge of basic open chords is desirable and would suit someone who has been playing for at least a few months. If you're a more seasoned player check out our Ilkley Acoustic Pop Ensemble for more of a challenge!
