About the Event
Diddley Bows are the grandparents of modern guitars, and are really easy to build.
You won't need any prior guitar-building experience, because our very own guitar tutor Rob Rideout is gonna run you through the whole thing, step by step. By the end, you'll know a whole lot more about how guitars work, and you'll have built your very own piece of playable rock and blues history!
The workshop is set up for Sunday the 24th of August, from 2pm to 5pm, and will cost £50, which includes the session, and the price of the finished product, ready to take home and play.
