Musik Club is for passionate music makers. It is the place to get together, hang out and most importantly make some music with a focus on meeting like minded cool people. I have started this group to meet other like minded studio people, producers and performers.

This group is aimed at those people who play an instrument and would like to meet up and take part in jam sessions. We will have to find a free space or hire a space where we can play but in the meantime we can keep in touch and see how it goes. Definitely we will meet up. Players of all instruments are welcome but of course it's a lot easier to carry a guitar wherever you go than a piano.

This is for anyone who plays a musical instrument, or would like to play more. If you haven't played for a while, get your keyboard/flute/guitar/melodica/trumpet down from the loft. Dust it off, come along and play. It's a new group. To start with I have arranged Beck's 'Songreader' score into Ableton live. If you don't know this project, it's fab!

Freestyle Footbag, a.k.a. Hacky-Sack, is an indigenous game from the U.S. It begins with keeping a small soft bag afloat in the air by kicking it and using any part of your body but your hands and arms. We usually play it in a circle, but you can play individually as well. Usually in the arc of an afternoon you can get the hang of it and in a week or two you can get a handful of tricks down. As you gain proficiency, you learn to not only kick the footbag, but also stop it. This is called a "stal …
