I’d love this to be a group where we can explore our  divers …

Casual jamming sessions for people who: live in or near Twickenham play, own or can borrow an instrument want to experiment even if they can't play 'proper' music I'm most comfortable with guitar, trying to catch up on piano, and sometimes like to play hand drums.
