A PORTISHEAD rock school is looking for would-be drummers to sign up for new weekly sessions.

The Rock Project Encore launches its adult classes in the music and dance studio at Portishead Youth Centre in Harbour Road on January 23.

Andy Collins, who runs the project, said: “We have had a great response from guitar and bass players but very few drumming enquiries.”

The 90-minute weekly sessions, which start at 7.45pm, are made up of 45 minutes professional tutoring followed by 45 minutes of jamming.

All instruments can be provided at no extra cost and the classes are suitable for everyone from complete novices to accomplished players.

Andy added: “We have had enquiries from people who have always wanted to be in a rock band but never got round to learning to play, to those who used to be in bands and miss the music scene.

“The sessions are great fun and very sociable, it’s a chance for like-minded musicians to get together.”

Encore also has vacancies for vocalists.
